Bass player needed for summer gigs, pop, rock, and more.

Minneapolis MN

Description

Hi, we are a 6 pc cover band playing a single set of some danceable pop, reggae, funk, and rock songs with a few gigs booked thru the summer, in the metro only, no travel; and we need a bass player who likes playing on a couple weekend nights per month at most. We make enough tips for gas money, and beyond that, you never know; sometimes we do not make any money, but there's potential. You don't need to read charts, you'll just get a list of songs and a dropbox of mp3 files, and if you learn them, we're set. j/k ; ) We practice only a couple times before each gig; different members' homes depending on what's convenient, and the whole situation is very low pressure. We're in it for fun, but all of us have played professionally, ages 20 - 60, and we're very good natured. All ages, types pronouns welcome; we're all also vaccinated/boosted, if that matters to you. We don't insist upon it, we don't really insist upon anything. Life is too short. We read charts, but again, you do not have to, we'll get you everything you need to learn 15 - 16 songs in the way you learn best. They're not hard songs, but people dance and like them. The material spans 1960 - modern day, and we choose it by what entertains people, not by the style or era. It's a solid set, and it surprises people. You should have good gear and hopefully transportation, but we can make rides shareable. We've got the vocal covered, but if you have a song or two that makes everybody groove, you're welcome to try them at a couple gigs, then we'll see how they go over. (We don't play metal or country or hip-hop; we like them all, but we're more dance, funk, blues, and R&B oriented.) Clubs we've played are Turf Club, Main Street, St. Anthony Park 4th of July, Nicollet Island Pavilion, and others up in Ramsey and Sherburne County, but we don't want to drive up there anymore - just city gigs now. Sorry it's such a long post, but information can save both you and us time...so, write for a list of songs, and we'll take it from there. We don't need to fill this till July. We're low on ego, low on worry, but all good players who have played varied styles. Thanks!
