BenjaSoul + Band in Richmond, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

All rehearsals and gigs are paid.

Love songs and songs about social justice.

Recent debut EP - got good studio musicians but looking for local East Bay musicians to do this live, perform, possibly tour. Bonus points if you can sing harmony. This has the backing of a new independent record label called Love Conquered Records. The gig is legit. Get on the ground floor of something that we hope to take off.

The music is all original. R&B/soul at heart but definitely pop/rock sensibilities. I write fat arrangements with multiple synths, horn solos, and room to improvise. I have charts and a vision but my background's in jazz so I always want band members to add their personality to the mix.

I'm not tryna ask musicians to jam for hours without direction or pay. I send recordings, chord charts if you need 'em, once we step into rehearsal we're ready to make music happen and see if we can make somethin beautiful. I try to respect everybody's time and treat musicians like pros. 'Cause you deserve that.
