ABOUT

I’m currently putting together a band based in Ipswich. We’re all experienced players and have an eclectic mix of tastes and influences. Our current line up is Drums, Bass and Guitar with the very possible option of Flute.

We’re all working full time with “real jobs”, so this is going to be a casual band. However, we all want it to be as creative, fun and enjoyable as possible!

Our material is covers, but not strictly like the original record. We’re taking inspiration from artists such as Pomplamoose, Scary Pockets, Vulfpeck, Live Lounge performances and a variety of jazz and latin groups that cover Pop songs in their respective genres. We will also be arranging our own versions of covers in the near future.

To complete our line up and really get things in motion, we’re looking for a lead singer! We’re looking for a confident and musically aware vocalist that will be comfortable belting out some well known covers whilst interjecting their own personality and flare. To really make an impression, you’d be able to powerfully deliver in Soul, RnB, Funk, Blues, Motown, Jazz Fusion and Pop, yet also be diverse enough to drop down to some slower Ballads and Bossa Nova style influences as well. We reckon that the repertoire we have prepared will be better suited to a female lead, but it really just comes down to finding the right vocalist! So if you can prove us otherwise, then feel free to get in touch!

Our ages range from early 20’s to mid 30’s, so someone of a similar age range would be brilliant, but not a deal breaker.

Please get in touch if you’re interested, and we can discuss some more details.
