Seeking Female Vocalist for Performance Duo, Eventually Full Band

Springfield VA

Description

Looking for a female vocalist to join with me, and eventually a full backup band, to perform many of those boy/girl duets from over the years. Things like "Whenever I Call You Friend" by Loggins/Nicks, to "Don't You Want Me" by the Human League, and "I've Had the Time of My Life" in the 80's, to "The Love Shack" in the '90's to "Cold Cold Heart" presently on the charts with Dua Lipa and Elton John. There are just examples of a zillion of these types of songs through the years and there will be plenty of material. Would also be interested in rearranging some male duos over the years to be male/female, and even some single performer singer/songwriter stuff that could be performed with just one guitar. That would give us more than double the material to play. Also into writing originals, which I have a thousand but not written for boy/girl. I am getting ready to write some new stuff and if you are into that kind of thing I would love to work with you. I am looking for someone who is willing to rehearse twice a week at first, until we start gigging. That way it won't take a million forever's before we are ready to gig. The ideal candidate will also play an instrument, but it is not necessary. I was thinking guitar, bass or keyboards. I will teach those if you don't play but would like to learn, or tambourine for the less daring, although tambourine is not as easy as it looks. Your level of experience as a performer doesn't matter as much as your openness to learning and dedication to music. If you have that, we can learn all of this together and the final result could be amazing. Really. About me, I am 50 and can work with people of all ages and backgrounds. I am very easy to work with and don't have unrealistic expectations. I am about having fun first. If we're not having fun its not worth doing. I have been in a couple of dozen bands over the years, was for years the house bass player at a local club in Springfield, have played the big stage at Bull Run and have been a solo performer at a number of venues for many years. I am not technically amazing but I am very solid and can entertain a crowd. If this does not answer all your questions just ask! Thanks for reading my ad. If you are interested or have questions I hope to hear from you soon!
