Rockville MD

Description

Hello, Are you somewhat local to Rockville? Perfect! I'm looking to do an acoustic thing, although not opposed to electric rock, but... Personally I am an energetic performer who likes to make sure everyone has fun. Now gearing up for post-Covid, and would like to find someone that can sing lead and high harmony (Tenorish), who also plays an instrument. I do both and would like to find someone else that would enjoy playing & harmonizing. The goal is to take pop, rock and anything in between and rearrange it for acoustic. Something I have a lot of experience in. Please send samples also, and I will do the same. I have all pro equipment, mics, PA etc. Thanks Here is a small bio. For the last 10 years I have been the musical director for a Shakespeare company in Baltimore, doing two to three plays a year, Each one a 3 month (or more) commitment. Once the play opened I would be on stage singing and playing every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the next 6 weeks during the play's run. Basic jest with the Company is we presented the plays in their original form. No microphones or electronics, all acoustic. Of course in Shakespeare's time he would play the popular tunes of his time, so to be consistent we play the popular tunes of our times. My job with the company was to arrange and write original music for the inplay songs, and then select and arrange 10 to 12 modern songs for pre-show and intermission. Basically I would take pop, rock, R&B, and any other chart toppers and sing along earworms from Madonna and Lady Gaga, to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, and turn it into an acoustic song. Creating all the singing, and harmony arrangements, as well as the instrument parts and then teaching it to any of the actors who had some musical talents. There were plays where I had 8 musicians and amazing vocal talents and mad instrument skills. and then there were plays where I was the only one that could play any instruments, and I would have to teach a couple of the actors to play the Cajon and tambourine :).
