Hello,
River Knight are an acoustic duo consisting of a vocalist, and an acoustic guitarist that also sings. Currently, when we play live it's just the 2 of us, but when we record we add extras into our music. We've tried the backing track route but it just hasn't worked out, so we're now at the point where we want to make RK a full band and add drums, keys, bass and lead guitar... Well, whatever is needed. Although, in all honesty we haven't had a response from a drummer as yet - wink wink nudge nudge!
The presentation of our music would change with a full band so our recordings would only be a guideline. There's room to play around and make it your own. We're not trying to 100% duplicate the songs as we've recorded them but we would like to fill out the dynamics of them when playing live. I suppose we'd like them to evolve. Possibly with a view to re-recording them with the new members.
We have gigs lined up; 2 x Wild Festivals in April, in Hampshire and Dorset. Black Balloon Sessions in Pompey later in April, Underbelly in London in May, Romsey Beggars Fair in July and a couple of festivals in August including another Wild Festival in Gloucester. Also, a couple of charity events in July and October.
Age not important - we're not grey yet (except the facial hair) and we're young at heart.
12 original songs with more on the way.
Around 20 covers at the moment.

We know RK will change quite dramatically with these additions so that shouldn't be a concern.
Auditions will be held at Pure Rehearsals in Southampton.
