We are looking to recruit a guitarist (lead & rhythm) for a Cher tribute band.
The set is covering songs from the early years & ranging through to her latest releases.
Before you turn off at the ‘Cher’ tag. Yes! There are some ‘cheesy’ crowd pleasers in there, but as a predominantly rock player, I was personally surprised to see some really well written songs in the set. It’s been a nice challenge to play the different genres she has covered over the years.
We are looking to get on the tribute circuit &, after a few low-key gigs, we are initially aiming at 12 to 18 good standard gigs per year (ish). We will see how things work out, it could be more.
The line up is complete except for a great guitar player. We have Lead Vocals, Keys with BVs, Drums, Bass & Backing Vocalist who plays some rhythm guitar & percussion. The set is chosen (99%) & rehearsals are ongoing, with circa 50% of the set at a good level already.
We mainly rehearse in Huddersfield but we are not carrying out weekly rehearsals yet, we will step up the pace when we have a full line up. The band is a relaxed & fun-loving group of people & although we take the music seriously, we also like to have fun.
It is expected for each player to do their homework & arrive at rehearsals fully prepared to play the right parts with the right sounds. Additional sessions can be held with Bass & Keys to help our new guitarist to learn songs & get up to speed.
If you are interested I would request that you share some video or audio of you playing live to the following e-mail address – kibo34@hotmail.com
Ideally, we are looking for a player who can also provide backing vocals but with a lead vocal & 2 other backing vocalists in the band it’s not a show stopper if you don't sing.
It goes without saying that we are looking for someone with pro attitude, great gear, own transport etc.
Thank You & Best Regards
