Gigging band looking for a cellist to join group + play scored music

New York City NY

Description

We're an original-focused Harlem trio of 2 violins and piano in the vein of a chamber pop White Stripes/Vampire Weekend, incorporating classical and jazz elements. We're looking for a cellist and have a free place to rehearse in Harlem with a baby grand piano. We're a band that really appreciates diversity and celebrates that. We've recently played a number paying NYC gigs, including headlining at the Knitting Factory. Our music is influenced by indie, punk, rockabilly, pop, classical, jazz, blues, sometimes all within a single song. We have a full concert of material already written/prepared for this format and are specifically looking for someone who reads music. The band is generally classically trained and we'd love some classical/jazz influence. Here are a few vids from a recent practice with 2 violins and piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz15bMxS3RU&list=PLCgne2jjShiLhd1Sc86TOcWV-ShSnwtCc And here's an album with more rock and roll inspired songs that we've since adjusted toward a more classical format: https://rockpops.bandcamp.com/album/reverb-drenched-sunset-beach We're in our late 20s/mid 30s and have a mix of male and female band members. We've been in bands/groups that have toured and played for hundreds of people around the country and internationally. This band plans on performing in NYC mostly.
