Gigging Alt-Rock Cover Band Needs Guitarist w/ Backing Vocals

Jersey City NJ

Description

Established (but still new-ish) alternative/modern rock cover band with management and 20+ gigs already booked for 2022 across North Jersey and the Jersey Shore is looking for a guitarist who can also sing. You don't have to sing lead on any songs (unless you want to), but we need someone with the ability to sing harmonies and other backing vocals. We already have a lead guitarist, so the original idea was to find a rhythm player, but if you play lead and want to trade off on solos with the other guitarist, that's cool too! We are Grand Theft Audio (https://www.facebook.com/grandtheftaudionj/) - we formed in 2019 and have been actively gigging all over Northern NJ and surrounding area ever since. We've taken off pretty quickly, and in 2021 were chosen to be represented by Jersey Select Entertainment (www.JerseySelectEntertainment.com). We play mainly classic alternative rock from the 90s-00s, but we're open to ideas, and everyone has a say when it comes to adding new songs. As long as it rocks and will get a crowd pumped up, it's fair game. I've listed a bunch of stuff we've played - but we probably have close to 100 songs in our repertoire, so plenty more where this came from. Are we breaking new ground? Maybe not. But we're all having a blast doing it! Know that while we take this seriously, we're also in our late 30s/mid-40s and have families and day jobs, so our gigging schedule is pretty laid back - anywhere from 2-4 times a month on average (depending on time of year). We want this to be flexible enough so people with demanding careers and/or families can still rock out. Gender and age are not important, but a good sense of humor is a must, as is the ability to rehearse once a week. You don't need to be a pro, but obviously you'll need your own pro-quality gear and know how to set it up on stage. Please, no big egos, drug addicts, drunks, or people just in it for the money. But if you think this could be a good fit, definitely hit us up! Happy to answer any questions.
