Zemene + Band in Shippensburg, PA

SEEKING

ABOUT

We are looking for talented musicians to be in a Celtic band with us. We are very committed to this and would like to eventually have at least 1 paid gig a week, if not more. We are a silly, light-hearted group and love to have fun and make friends but we also want to be serious enough to express our passion through music.

We are very creative and want to have a unique sound so we welcome almost any kind of instrument that can be used to create a Celtic style in some way. We'd like to use traditional Celtic music as a foundation and guide, then make it our own. We would do covers but mostly want to focus on composing our own music.

We have our 1st paid gig on July 10th and would love to have some Celtic stuff practiced by then.

More than anything we need a fiddle player and a hand percussionist, especially one who can pick up Celtic drums such as the Bodhran. We would also like to get another bassist of some kind.

Location: We usually practice in Shippensburg, PA but could meet in Hagerstown or Frederick, MD as well if needed.
