Lionel Richie tribute musicians wanted: bass/guitar

New York City NY

Description

Hello there - I'm putting together a Lionel Richie tribute for a show at Shrine in Harlem. I have a drummer -- I'm now looking for a bassist (Fretless bass would be AWESOME!), a guitarist and MAYBE sax and/or keyboards. This is not a paid gig, although the musicians will split whatever we make from ticket sales at the door. Might be a one time show, but hopefully it will generate enough interest that we can take the show to a few other clubs around town. Or maybe even to nearby towns! :-) I'm looking for serious, seasoned players -- not amateurs, and not people who just "like to play." But definitely want folks who KNOW the Richie catalogue already (including a few Commodores tunes), so that we can prepare the show with just one or two rehearsals. I've been covering Grateful Dead for many years, and have branched out during the pandemic. Here is one of the bigger shows I put on, back in 2019. Four of these musicians are nationally recognized in the Deadhead community. That's the level of musician I'm used to playing with! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9u-wHZ_sR8&t=5710s
