Wanted: DJ for Touring Cover Band

Atlanta GA

Description

Wanted: DJ/Emcee for Touring Cover Band We are a full-time traveling party band operating throughout the southeastern US, performing at weddings, corporate events, and national venues. We drive A LOT. This band is very versatile and we’re looking for someone who can roll with the punches while keeping a great attitude. Being on the road for gigs is challenging, from sharing van space with fellow bandmates to performing multiple shows in the course of a single weekend. We are not just a band or a business; we are a family who wants to win and we rely on each other every week. This band has had consistent work and amazing reviews ever since its inception, and the coming years are going to be a very exciting time. If chosen, you will have a trial period to make sure everything goes well, and then your regular role will begin at the start of 2022. This organization is also signed to a professional booking agency that believes in us and is dedicated to helping us achieve success. Keep in mind that this organization has a sister traveling/gigging party band that you could also potentially perform with as a fill-in for extra work. Task and Qualities We’re Looking For: - A youthful look, as this is a young band and is marketed as such. - Positive attitude and an ability to be mentally present and attentive on gigs. Negativity and hate in any form is not tolerated. - An ability to go on long road trips for gigs and work long, challenging days. We will drive anywhere from 2-8 hours for out of town gigs, usually leaving early Saturday mornings and returning early to mid Sunday mornings. The actual shows are anywhere from 1-3+ hours long. Stamina and endurance are a must. - A team player who is coachable and who wants to see themselves and the other band members succeed. - Overall personality that matches our present team. - Great attention to detail. This is paramount. The successful or unsuccessful realization of a client’s details can absolutely make the difference between a good gig and a bad gig. - Great communication skills (we need to be able to reliably reach you by phone/text/GroupMe). - Punctuality (adherence to specific and precise schedules and timelines). - Responsibility and professionalism. - Ability to troubleshoot and creatively problem solve. Circumstances change even at the most meticulously planned events, so an ability to “go with the flow” is necessary. - Great people skills in regards to client/customer interactions and communications. DJ Requirements: - Ability to emcee, have high energy, dance and rock the mic - Ability to rap, recite cover rap verses and hip hop verses in some of the bands setlist. - Strong ability to emcee and host each event. This is a HUGE part of the job. - Performance experience with genres such as Motown, Pop, Rock, Soul, RnB, Top 40, etc. - Great stage presence that is commanding and captivating (eye contact with audience, energy, light choreography, etc). - Ability to learn song lyrics quickly (sometimes within one week) and retain them over time. - Ability to perform primarily with in-ear monitors with stage wedges as a backup. Must be able to follow a click track, cues (verse, chorus, etc), and the direction of the MD. - Have knowledge and be willing to help with sound engineering duties. Pay: You will be compensated well for your role in this organization. We are offering full-time payment to the right person. Payment is per gig and will be discussed in person at the conclusion of an interview. In Closing: We are looking for a skilled and responsible music professional to join an established and reputable party band organization. We’re not here to punch the clock; we work hard on our music careers every single week and we want someone who aligns with that lifestyle and work ethic. If you want to
