DSoTM ensemble seeks 3rd Guitarist

Royal Oak MI

Description

Several local Detroit musicians, most with a long history of acquaintance, have come together recently in order to stage a production of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon in its entirety. Together, we seek a Keyboardist/Synth Player, a 3rd Guitarist for supplemental work (including Slide), and a Saxophone player to round out the ensemble. 2 Guitars, Bass, Drums, Secondary Piano, all male and female Vocals have all been covered, and we are currently in the process of completing the lineup. In order to truly move the project forward from this point, we need this last piece of the puzzle set into place. The position of a final Guitarist is needed to help fill in the space of layering that will complete each tune. It must be noted that this project is much more a labor of love than it is an effort to capitalize monetarily. While we are well-connected in the local scene, we don’t presently envision more than five performances at venues around the area. Our collective desire and vision is to play some timeless music with great fellow performers for appreciative audiences, and to be able to say that we did a respectable job that does justice and pays homage to the album. Before the lockdown in Michigan, we had been rehearsing as an ensemble about twice a month, with “sectional” rehearsals as arranged by those who needed to participate, and we plan on continuing to do so until we feel the production is ready to bring to the public; though we believe that it should not take us very long at all. We anticipate a need for professionalism and courtesy in that some of individuals’ personal time outside of rehearsals will need to be dedicated to learning and arranging parts independently. Rehearsal space is established in NW Troy. We live throughout the metro Detroit area, though southeastern Oakland County is our most central point. Finally, though this project is focused on a limited engagement, we also consider this to be open-ended. That is to say, we very well may continue on working together after the last DSOTM performance(s). We all get along quite well and none are opposed to this limited project opening up into a broader scope down the line.
