Is Vocal Harmony your Sweet Spot? Also play bass, guitar or keys?

Rochester MA

Description

If so, read on: Experienced gigging vocalist/guitarist looking to form duo or trio to perform vocal-oriented rock/pop/country/alt-rock/folk cover repertoire in South coastal Mass and Upper Cape bars, restaurants, breweries, private parties. I am looking for other musicians (male or female) who excel at singing harmony and lead vocals and playing either bass, guitar, or keyboard. I'd like to start with a duo, possibly incorporating a third singer/instrumentalist over time. I have been gigging as a solo singer/guitar player but would like a duo because I prefer a bigger sound and more variety. Besides singing, I play acoustic & electric guitar, mandolin, harmonica, some bass and keys, and write songs. For repertoire, think of any group from 60's to now featuring strong vocal harmonies. Here are a few examples: Beatles, Little Big Town, Doobie Brothers, Guster, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Desert Rose Band, Dada, Fleetwood Mac, Simon & Garfunkel, Lady A, Green Day, Bread, etc. Repertoire to be somewhat flexible and customized to expected audience tastes. Instrumental virtuosity is a bonus, but vocals are primary. Practices/rehearsals are once a week (weeknight), gigs about once a month (maybe twice/month during summer). I have pro equipment, rehearsal space in Rochester with P/A, but am also willing to travel locally for rehearsal. After initial ramp-up all members need to be prepared to invest time in the business end (getting gigs, marketing, social media, etc), not just the music. If this looks interesting, please reply, and we can continue the conversation by sharing videos of our performances, song lists, etc.
