Drummer Needed for Working Classic Rock, Blues and Country Band

Bonita CA

Description

Classic Rock, Blues, and Country band is looking for an experienced drummer. Vocal ability is a plus (lead or back-up), but not necessary. We are seasoned musicians in our 50's to 60’s consisting of: Bass, Lead Guitar and Rhythm Guitarist. We have a PA, lights, and a no-cost place to rehearse with an electric drum kit (you don’t need to drag your kit to rehearsal). We have lead and back-up vocals covered. Individually, we've played for various cover bands and original projects over the years. We have a great sense of humor and create a non-stressful/no drama atmosphere. The band was formed in April 2016 with 60+ songs gig ready. Everyone's input is valuable and we're not limited to a particular set list of music. We have day jobs and families, but have time for our musical passion. We have been playing out at least once a month and as opportunities arise. We rehearse (once a week or as needed) in Bonita in a recently remolded studio. The direction we are headed is classic rock playing 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90”s music. We play a good mix of classic rock, blues and easy listening styles with a few country tunes and always adding new songs. Our plan is to add some songs that are not common to the typical bar band line up, but are known and liked. We want the patrons to remember us. We are also looking for members that are patient and willing to work to grow this band. We are going on 47 gigs played so far since July 2016 and one is scheduled for April 24th. We've have played in and around San Diego County. No drugs and alcohol issues. Please provide your experiences and any ability samples.
