Professional Soul cover band seeks regular trumpet member

Oakland CA

Description

We are an established soul/funk/R&B cover band, music ranging from late 50s to the present. When not in pandemic restrictions, we play 2 - 4 gigs a month on average. Gigs vary in length but are typically 2 hours and can be up to 4 hours (with breaks), our full set is about 50 songs. Pay per gig has been typically $100-200, though higher paying gigs have definitely happened. We are currently 8 members (2 vocals, 2 horns (tbn, tnr sax), piano, guitar, bass, drums). We rehearse once a week (currently on Tuesday evenings) in East Oakland, in an enclosed garage. We're all vaccinated, you should be too. Regular attendance would be expected. All parts are pre-arranged and will be supplied to you, but as we add new material your input on arrangements would be welcome. Soloing is a major part of our set and you'll be expected to be able to take a solo in any song on the fly. It's fun! A familiarity with the style would be a huge bonus. Sam & Dave, James Brown, Isley Bros, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Prince, TLC (*that one!*), Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, and way more. Drop us a line, we'd love to have you come in and play along with us!
