ABOUT

We are a cover band playing music from the 1960s thru the '90s. We have two dedicated singers, one male and one female, guitar, bass, and drums. We have been playing together about 5 years. We try to play a variety of music to appeal to our demographic (40-somethings and up); we favor songs which were hits and are upbeat and danceable. We are looking for a keyboard player, or a guitar player who can play keyboard and is willing to do this at least a majority of the time. Preference is given to someone who has played rock keyboard in a band setting before. Ability to sing is a plus but not required. We gig about once per month, and we rehearse once per week. More information is available upon request. We don't do it for the money, but we like doing things well. We expect band members to put in a good effort at learning their parts on their own before rehearsals, but at the same time we realize it's a leisure pursuit and we are flexible and responsive to members' needs. The emphasis is on having fun and making good music.
