Hi all,
I'm a funk/pop artist inspired by the 80s in particular (Prince, Chic, The Time, Alexander O'Neal, Sheila E, Bobby Brown).
I'm looking for musicians to join me live performances, which I usually do alone with a backing track. I'm looking to, once all this covid blows over, put on a big night of live music (originals incl covers so we can get paid!) and hopefully make this a regular thing/source of some income as well. Add a DJ set as well maybe, who knows - as long as we can get a good paying show going.
I'm interested in pretty much any kind of musicians for this -> synth/keys, rhythm guitar, sax, backing vocals. Mix of male and female would be cool (in fact female backing vocals would be nice, especially with covers in mind as there will be some lead vocals to cover as well). FYI I'll be playing lead guitar alongside lead vocals, and maybe a bit of piano.
Obviously we can't rehearse at the moment, but if you're interested drop me a line and we can get something sorted once we're allowed!
I don't want to do endless rehearsals, been there done that! I have a lot of songs that are completely ready incl all the parts so all you need to do is learn them (same as with covers). I'll do all the grunt work as it's my project, no pressure there. Obviously there will be room for your own interpretation of certain parts but again, no pressure. Also, apart from a bit of rehearsal money it won't cost you a penny (no recording, all the marketing comes down to me etc).
Imagine the end goal to be like a set played by The Revolution or New Power Generation, so smooth transitions between songs, high energy, cool covers both new old, dressing the part too etc (no silly 80s wigs, but dress up and look cool - no tshirts!)
If this sounds cool to you, and I hope it does!, please check me out on spotify or soundcloud and get in touch!
