Band seeking 2nd guitarist (with good backing vocals)
We are currently a 4-piece band consisting of Lead vocalist/Guitarist/Bass/Drums, based in the Brentwood area. All good talented musicians, we are in the process of re-engineering our set having lost our keyboard player (gone overseas).
Given the scarcity of good keyboard players, we feel a more immediate and realistic option lies with finding a good 2nd guitarist, but it is essential that he or she has the ability to play lead and rhythm guitar as well as an ability to sing good vocal harmonies.
Having two guitars will introduce a broader capability, e.g. twin lead guitar harmonies as well as adding more textures and interest to our overall sound.
We are also keen to write some of our own material which we can blend into the set. So a creative bent would be an added bonus.
As a band we are not religiously wedded to any particular musical genre, but our musical tastes are essentially rock oriented, though we do play the odd blues number and also some more etherial numbers where the melody is strong and interesting to the listener. (We are not a “function” band and certainly not Heavy Metal)
With the right candidate this has the makings of being a really good band.
We are all committed to the task of producing good quality music and have the very best gear, as quality of sound is important to us, but we all have day jobs and family commitments, so our weekly rehearsals tend to be in the evenings or weekends and whilst we love to gig, it is envisaged that this will be circa once a month (on average).
So in these strange times (lock-down), we feel it is an opportune time to be learning new material.
A new member would also be invited to be involved in shaping and building our set.
It is important to stress that we have no “egos” in this band. I think we strike a healthy balance between the commitment of learning our respective parts, and the need to have fun, so a good sense of humour would certainly be a plus. We have no interest in age, gender, colour or creed, we are solely interested in your talent.
So if this sounds of interest then please either respond here or feel free to give me a call to learn more, Ian 07921 065 224 (Guitarist).
