Subs needed for Tour & fest dates this summer

Grand Rapids MI

Description

Hey there, I am Americana / Alt-Country artist based out of Idaho. I'm looking at some Midwest dates (primarily MI) and need some sub players to fill out my touring band. I am currently in talks with 2 Michigan Festivals. The first is June is 10th &11th (show would only be one of those days), the second would be in early September. In addition, I am booking a week long tour this summer with a couple dates Michigan, then a show in Milwaukee and one or two in Chicago. I'm originally from the Midwest and want to get in the habit of coming back for festivals and small tours in the future, so if it's a fit, there will be some more gigs down the road. Here's my press kit. It has links to music, videos, etc so you can get an idea of my sound and vibe: www.ryancurtismusic.us/epk I'm an indie artist in my 30's. Level of the music is legit, but don't expect the four seasons every night or anything. We will be traveling together in the van, sharing hotel rooms and staying with friends of mine on the road. I will handle all of the lodging details and just pay you a set guarantee for each show. I have charts and professional recording for you to learn from as well. Players needed Drummer - Looking for someone that is extremely proficient in country style drumming (train beats at various speeds and brush work is a must). Lead Player: Country/blues Electric Guitar (multi-instrumentalist that can play lap or pedal steel is BIG plus)- looking for a pro level picker. Tone is equally important. The sound I love is vintage 50's/60's style twang. Lots of reverb, tremolo, slight natural overdrive. Examples: JD McPherson, Charlie Crocket, Wayne Hancock. I also dig the classic 70's outlaw country tones of Waylon, Merle, etc.. Bass: preferably somebody with country bass experience. I have charts to learn from, but need somebody that got an ear to follow along easily as well. If you are only available for the festival dates, or just part of the tour (for example just MI dates), that's fine, just hit me up and we can discuss more. Tour: This is separate from festival dates. I'm looking at a 7 to 8 day run. This would include about 5 or 6 shows with a couple days off. I'm looking at venues in Chicago, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Traverse City, and a Private party near Houghton Lake MI. I've got places in each town lined up lodging. I'm currently considering either July 29th- August 7th or Aug 5th - Aug 14th.
