We are seeking a talented, experienced bassist to join our 5-piece band comprising mature and committed fellows. Line-up is vocals/harmonica, guitar/vocals x 2, bass and drums/percussion. We play an exciting range of Electric Blues, spanning mainly the period 1950's through to 1980's and covering some of the greatest names from the genre such as Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bo Diddley and many others besides! There's lots of diversity in the material, so it's certainly very interesting to play and to hear for the punters out front!
To fit with the image of the band, you'll likely be a Fender P-totin' fellow (or lass!). If you can also play an upright bass it would be an added bonus, but that's certainly not essential to joining us. What is essential though is that you have either a background in playing blues or, at the very least, a genuine passion for the music such that you understand what it's all about!
We have numerous great gigs booked for this year, at some of the best Blues venues and festivals in the South East. Rehearsals are weekly on a Sunday afternoon, inside a premium facility in Chelmsford. Fully equipped with own PA and a strong social media presence.
Ahead of getting in a room together for the first time, please note that we will need to see some video of you playing something in a bluesy vibe.
If this interests you then, without any further ado, please get in touch with your name and phone number so we can speak. Alternatively, you can reach us on 07702 476686.
Looking forward to hearing from you
