SLIDE GUITAR PICKER WANTED..!
Northwest England/North Wales
Ambitious and experienced group of musicians putting a together a Southern Rock tribute band to target good gigs and venues later this year and onwards.
The aspiration is to get a couple of warmup gigs at appropriate venues but target the tribute circuit including theatres going forward.
The goal is to create a Southern Rock Extravaganza charting the music from early Allman Bros through the 70s peak of popularity (Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker etc) and right up to date (eg BlackBerry Smoke, Whiskey Myers..) - clearly some big songs in there to be included.. but open to more suggestions.
We have bass, drums & lead singer in place already. Looking for guitar to get the ball rolling and shape the music choices. Also seperately advertising for keyboards to complete the basic lineup.
We are looking for a player with the right feel, approach and skill set to complete the basic lineup. It’s a mix of blues, rock, country, honky tonk & soul that make up the recipe - slide guitar and acoustic are additional key elements.
It is most likely that a second guitar will need to be added once we have the basic band together, but this is an opportunity to help form the sound, the image and the setlist.
Requirements:
- Good gear and own transport
- Skills in the right areas - tell us what you can bring - we want Warren Haynes/Charlie Starr not Joe Satriani..!
- Ability to work with the rest of the band .. take and give helpful direction when necessary
- Motivation and appetite to create a professional show - music is the foundation but image and delivery are key
- Prepare for rehearsals - we learn the songs before we get together - then we work on playing them together, not learning them
- Lastly - you’ve got to love the music!
Bonus points but not essential:
- Backing Vocals
- Additional instrumentation - ukulele/banjo, harmonica
- Contacts - good circuit venues, management etc
We are based in Cheshire, Warrington & Wirral areas and have access to free rehearsal spaces. Prepared to travel for good gigs but need to keep rehearsals to the northwest to make it workable.
