BLUES GUITARIST with great musicianship urgently NEEDED
This is for a new and ambitious blues band project that will tear up a wide and exciting CHICAGO BLUES repertoire played in an entertaining and authentic way, and we need someone to share lead and rhythm guitar licks with another fine BLUES guitarist.
Age is no barrier, although this project is likely to best suit someone in the the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots age range.
The full band line-up will comprise: vocals, harmonica, guitar #1, guitar #2, bass guitar/upright bass and drums/percussion.
Material will typically be from the Chicago Blues songbooks of Buddy Guy/Junior Wells, Little Walter, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf etc. Have no fear though, there's heaps of material already lined up, expertly curated by life-long and organised blues enthusiasts within the band!
What we need is a tasteful guitarist; think early Buddy Guy, Matt Murphy, Hubert Sumlin, the guys in Muddy's band etc. You will be someone with feel and timing, who gets as much of a buzz from the rest of the band as from your own playing, and who subscribes to a 'do no harm' musical philosophy! We absolutely do NOT need a guitarist who loves to play LOUD and heavy, so players chasing the sound of SRV/Gallagher/Moore/Bonamassa etc. need not apply thanks.
Rehearsals will likely be at a pro studio somewhere in mid/South of Essex, but will be central-ish to where everyone lives once the line-up is confirmed.
So if you're a BLUES guitarist and a reliable sort, into CHICAGO BLUES and you'd be genuinely committed to be a good bandmate, rehearsing and gigging going forward, please reply with some information about your experience and then we can have a chat towards a fast start into a first get-together.
