Experienced singer frontman seeks covers or originals
I'm an experienced lead singer and songwriter/lyricist looking for my next challenge. I'm a confident frontman and I have a three octave range. I've more of a pop/jazz/indie voice. Strong tenor-baritone. Also I play harmonica and percussion.
I'm open to a range of styles and groups, including tribute acts and original projects. Influences include Thom York, Bowie, Damon Albarn, Beach Boys, Beatles, John Grant, Jeff Buckley, ELO, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, XTC, Smiths, Clash…
You'll find me on YouTube and streaming services by searching for:
Fret Bear
Sound Mirrors (spacerocketsandsunshine)
Wilco Hawkins
I'm also a long suffering member of Andy Poole's Riddled With Booze Orchestra.
Looking to stay local (Chelmsford-ish) in terms of rehearsals but keen to play live and record wherever. I'm 51 but don't behave like I am.
If it's generic covers, blues rock, Sex on Fire or Bon Jovi, it's a no from me, but otherwise my taste is extensive and I'm open to ideas; as long as you don't mind hearing my ideas back. If you're a guitarist or keys player wanting to get a new project off the ground then I'm happy to join you on the ground floor. I was recently working on getting a Pulp tribute act going but it was maybe a bit too niche, although early rehearsals sounded mint.
