ABOUT

High-energy Rock'n'Tonk Country band seeks steady, time-keeping, rocking' country drummer for full time! Gigs starting now throughout DFW, Texas & Oklahoma. Looking for someone who would like to be permanent member and can travel a bit. Singing would be a plus, but not mandatory! Songwriting would be great too! (always looking for a collaborator). Must have transportation and reliable pro gear! The band does have a van and trailer for out of town gigs. NO FLAKES and/or mercenary musicians please, as we want to be as tight as possible!
We are originally from Texas & Oklahoma and have been based in Southern California for the last few years. The bassist/vocalist and I (band leader, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, bassist and some mandolin). We are looking for a drummer to fill out the full time band.
The band has a CD and has had songs on TV, movies, soap operas and the radio. We would like to record some new material soon. We playing club gig/casino gigs we have a lengthy song list of vintage country covers, originals and some classic rock with very few new FM country pop songs. (If you can call most of it "country").
If you think you are up for the job and have any questions, please feel free to contact me ASAP!
