SEEKING

Vocalist, Trumpet, Keyboard.

ABOUT

'The Gravitators' are currently seeking new members (as of April 2024)

**Keyboard player** - With a sense of the reggae and ska chops, backing vox a bonus

**Lead Vocalist** - We play a mix of reggae / ska / dub / groove, all our own material, we're not a covers band.

Looking at minimal lyrical content, going with light and shade throughout, possible / probable backing vocals available. We have lyrics for a number of our songs ready to share. A bonus if you play an instrument as well.

Some of our creations are available to listen to on this page, or here: https://thegravitators.bandcamp.com/
