Keyboards needed for established 80's covers band, Keys needed for established covers band
Excellent, Plymouth based, 80's rock covers band Firebird are looking for a keyboard player to complete our sound and ensure that we produce a top quality show each and every occasion that we play. Our current maestro of the ivories is struggling to meet the ongoing and increasing commitments of the band and, thus far, we have taken the show out as a five piece on the 75% of the time he is unavailable when we play, however we are keen to maintain our full sound 100% of the time and to that end are looking for someone. The incoming musician will complete the existing five piece line up; vocalist, two guitars, bass and drums.
We've established ourselves as one of the prime acts in Plymouth with a massive sound and a huge show, we need someone versatile and willing to rehearse on a weekly basis. Covers include tracks from acts such as Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Kiss etc and we need the keys to get some of the classics such as Jump and Final Countdown back into the sets.
Backing vocals would be advantageous but not a necessity, enthusiasm and willingness to put it all out there in the name of rock n roll is a must! We aim to gig three to four times a month and cover anywhere from Redruth to Exeter at the moment, we have played BMAD festival in Paignton several times, regularly headline the Plymouth Mega Ride festival, opened the Looe Music weekend last year and are booked to this year too, opened the original Vet Fest in Par and were the New Years Eve act at Tavistock Wharf pre lockdown years. Most shows are pub based but we are pushing for more festival appearances next year, and recently completed the Firebird Cruise in conjunction with Plymouth Boat Trips which will be repeat next year.
If this sounds like your kind of thing then please drop me a line and we'll book in an audition. Check out the Facebook page for the gist of what we're about: https://www.facebook.com/firebirdband/
