Interested in Afrofunk, rhythm & blues, psychedelic soul / jazz, or any down & dirty grooves which make you move?
Then BARON BLUE want to hear from you!
We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed band members to front our multicultural band of merry mayhem makers, based in the North East of England.
The mission is to celebrate blues and afrofunk music of the world (along with everything else from psychedelia to punk) and amplify the voices of people of colour, and also... get people dancing and have fun on the way.
We already have a few talented players with years of gigging experience and have started writing material for an upcoming album and have already had interest from festivals across the country. Come and Jon the party!
We want to hear from musicians who feel they can bring something to the table.
Applications from POC / BAME musicians and friends who've moved to the North East from around the world especially welcome.
Enthusiasm and positive attitude more important than gigging experience. Come and make yourself heard!
I particular, we need a singer who can write lyrics with the group and engage with an audience. Send any links of your performances please.
Main influences (to get you started)...
Delgres, The Meters, Sly & The Family Stone, Dr John, Fela Kuti, Songhoy Blues, The Barkays, Laura Mvula, Afronaut Zu, Moon Hooch, Bargou 08, and anything else funky, bluesy and a tad psychedelic...
Get in touch for more info and to tell me about yourself. We look forward to hearing from you. BB
