Vocalist wanted for rockabilly/jump blues band

Lumberton MS

Description

I want to start a new band for paying gigs, based in south Mississippi. I have some originals but the focus at first will be on covers. Influences will include JL Hooker, Robert Gordon, Link Wray, Luther Tucker, Johnny Burnett, Amos Milburn, Chuck Berry, Elvis, the Thunderbirds, SRV, the early Stones, etc etc. I have guitarists available but will need a bassist. The most-important part of the project is the frontman/frontwoman: the ideal candidate will be a blues shouter with stage presence. Experience isn't necessary for the vocalist, just natural talent, dedication, and a feel for the blues. The projected set-up is a five-piece with vocalist, guitar, bass, drums & keyboard. Practice would be minimal: all players except the vocalist should know the material without extensive rehearsal. I have a van and practice PA, so all we need to get started are the right personnel. Shoot me an email/text if interested.
