BOULDER BASED BAND SEEKS SOPRANO OR MEZZO SOPRANO VOCALIST

Boulder CO

Description

Free Range Marmot is currently looking for a female high pitch (soprano or mezzo soprano) lead singer who is comfortable with and able to provide supporting harmonies! The group currently has one female vocalist (alto), two male vocalists/guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. About 2/3 of the songs we play require a female singer but all could use more harmony. Full disclosure: any money we make goes into the band's bank account. We use gig money for equipment purchases, buying merch to sell at gigs, etc. In fact, we used some of our earnings to record and release our first EP a couple summers ago and are finishing up our second EP which should be out in the next couple of months! In other words, we all have day jobs and at this point none of us is getting paid for this. (unless you count the fun we have, then everyone is super rich....AND famous) We rehearse pretty religiously once a week for a couple of hours. Talent wise, we are competent musicians who have been playing together for many years. We range in age from late 20s to 60s if that matters to you. We are always excited to learn new songs, are able to pick things up pretty quickly, AND have a lot of fun doing it! We have played at places like Nissi's in Lafayette, The Laughing Goat on Pearl Street in Boulder, The Opera House in Longmont, The Fox in Boulder (as part of a music showcase), and Globe Hall in Denver. We also do private shows such as annual Halloween gigs and housewarming parties. We play originals (with more always in the pipeline) and a lot of covers. Check out “Free Range Marmot” on your favorite streaming service to hear some of our songs and see if our style matches yours. Our covers include, but are not limited to: Wish I Knew You (The Revivalists), Long Train Running (The Doobie Brothers), Paris (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals), Loveshack (B-52s), Bohemian Like You (The Dandy Warhols), and lots, lots more. If you have any recordings of your vocal stylings, that would be helpful. Even if you just record yourself on your phone in the shower. :) You should be excited to learn new songs, both as a lead and supporting vocals with dynamic harmonies. Expect to sing lead about ⅓ of the time. (If you want to do less than that and concentrate on harmonies that's fine too.) You should also be willing to devote one to two rehearsals per week to the group and you should be flexible in your schedule to gig out about once every month or so. If you play any instruments (keyboards!), that is a definite plus, but not necessary. Fun fact: A group of marmots is called a madness. Come join our madness!
