An exciting opportunity has just opened for a professional guitarist with vocals to fill the role of lead guitarist in a professional Bon Jovi tribute band. We are looking for a Richie Sambora soundalike – and ideally lookalike (dress/look the part) in both vocal and playing styles. You will ideally have all or most of the following:
• Experience as a professional/touring musician preferable
• Strong vocals, with an ability to sing the Richie Sambora harmonies (essential)
• Excellent guitar skills, with the ability to play the Bon Jovi lead parts as Richie Sambora did, including the more musically challenging material (Dry County, etc) (essential)
• Ability to use a talk box and get a good, authentic sound
• Authentic guitars/equipment to Richie Sambora – if you have the talk box and the Ovation double neck guitar, you’re halfway there (pun absolutely intended)
• Lead vocals on some of the songs Richie did with Bon Jovi (Stranger In This Town, I’ll Be There For You, etc) – not essential or intended as a regular thing but certainly desirable
• A passion for Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora’s music would be highly advantageous, as would a familiarity with live versions of the songs
If you live in the UK, we’re interested to hear from you. The band members are fairly spread around the country but distance is not too much of a problem as long as you can make it to rehearsals and bookings throughout the UK and sometimes beyond.
This band is relatively new to the market, but we have ambitious plans for the next couple of years. We have a few dates to fulfil early in the new year, so we are looking to move quickly. Please check out our work to date here: http://www.youtube.com/NewJoviTribute and our website: https://www.newjovi.com.
To apply, please have some video demos ready of you playing lead guitar to Bon Jovi songs and send links. I’m also happy to answer any questions you may have, so please drop me a message!
Cheers,
Gary
