Established band "The Corona Virus Band" seeking drummer and keyboards

Stuart FL

Description

Hello everybody! If you are reading this you showed interest in becoming the drummer or keyboardist for the greatest ORIGINAL rock/etc. band this side of the pandemic, AKA The Corona Virus Band! We are a very serious act, and we have played many shows both in Colorado and in Florida. We play many genres of music from rock to folk to reggae, comedy, and more. Our lyrics are whimsical, witty and different. We have an established website, facebook, and soundcloud. We have an album out for sale on our website, its a live album, it's a great album (in my humble opinion) but its lacking the skills of a versatile drummer and a sick keys section. I have become a studio operator in the sense that I produced our 1st album. I got pretty good with sound and video editing for music videos, album production etc. Both of the original members, Joe Fish (yours truly) and Brandon are guitarists and we have gained popularity quickly. We are looking to play a multitude of venues from bars to stadiums. The goals for the first year are to produce the studio version of the live album, and go on tour from FL to CO by the end of next year. We are looking for someone who is open to practicing at least 2x weekly and playing out often. Someone who wants to record their work. Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to reach for success at every opportunity. We want to be the next Beatles. As a drummer, I'm looking for someone who is able to keep timing very well. Someone who can learn songs at a decent pace. Music writing is a plus. I would love to collaborate on anything you have written. Interesting drums outside of the standard set, like steel drums or hand drum, hang drum, or hand percussions is a huge plus. As a keyboardist, I'm looking for someone who works with a multitude of sounds and effects offering a different experience with each song. Being able to reproduce what you hear is a huge plus as there are keyboard sections for a few songs that have been lost to time that I would love to be able to resurrect. As for myself, I have written many songs. I have well over 50 to work with. So far Brandon and I have collaborated on about 20. The first album is 12 of these 20, and we're almost through working on the 2nd one. So after production of the studio album, there is more material to go on for a second album and even beyond that. I have had a couple songs in rotation at Guilford College radio WQFS since 2009. I've had radio interviews. I've played festivals. I have great connections in CO, FL, and NC for shows, radio interviews and more. Back to you... You must own your own instument(s), have reliable transportation, and a commitment to the group. Just so there is no confusion... currently both me and Brandon reside in Colorado. I will be moving down there to the Stuart area within the next month. Brandon will be following within the following couple months (March-April). I will be auditioning whoever responds to this when I arrive. You are welcome to send me samples of your music now if you have recordings done.
