The Voodoo Brothers + Band in Westfield, MA

SEEKING

ABOUT

The Voodoo Brothers are a heavy bluesy groovy rock band from Westfield Mass. Have been performing mostly as an acoustic duo in the Western Mass. area for the last 5 years or so.

Now we have a full blues/rock band, just need to tighten up and fill out a little, looking for some groovy B3 psychedelia, and possibly some rhythm/2nd lead guitar.

So far we have 7 solid originals and about 7 more in the writing process, also a good blues repertoire, lots of old/weird Aerosmith covers, and other covers we just like. They all seen to go over pretty well!

OK! Looking for a organ/piano player who can groove. We play a lot of blues but we make it quite heavy, our originals really call some groovy B3. We dig honky-tonk piano for a lot of tunes too. Rhythm guitar and backup vocal skills a plus. Looking for someone in their 20's or so, not that big a deal, 21+ would be nice though. Check out the gear section for gear requirements.

Very picky about rhythm guitar, MUST have a dead on percussive heavy rhythm style, knowledge of music and fretboard theory a must! Know your blues, rhythm guitaist solos too!

Looking For:

Keyboard!!! - Needs to have AUTHENTIC Hammond B3 tone, w/ Leslie. I'm all for the XK3 and various others, should be running through a tube amp rotary cab, Leslie, Motion Sound or similar. Also need a good honky-tonk piano tone.

Rhythm Guitar - Must have a good guitar or at least something we can modify and bastardize, and a pure tube amp IS REQUIRED, we can always build a custom one.
