Keys for southern rock Covers band

Honky Tonk Piano / Hammond Keyboards Wanted..!

Ambitious and experienced group of musicians putting a together a Southern Rock tribute band to target good gigs and venues later this year and onwards.

The aspiration is to initially get a couple of warmup gigs at appropriate venues but target the tribute circuit including theatres going forward.

The goal is to create a Southern Rock Extravaganza charting the music from early Allman Bros through the 70s peak of popularity (Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker etc) and right up to date (eg BlackBerry Smoke, Whiskey Myers..) - clearly some big songs in there to be included.. but open to more suggestions.

We have solid bass, drums & lead singer and a few guitar players shown serious interest.

keyboard defo needed for this genre to shape the music choices so keys a big part of band

We are looking for a player with the right feel, approach and skill set to complete the basic lineup. It’s a mix of blues, rock, country, honky tonk & soul that make up the recipe - if you love the music you will know what it’s all about!

Early stages but this is an opportunity to help form the sound, the image and the setlist.

Requirements:

Good gear and own transport

Skills in the right areas - tell us what you can bring - we think we want Billy Powell/Greg Allman but maybe you can give us

Ability to work with the rest of the band - take and give helpful direction when necessary

Motivation and appetite to create a professional show - music is the foundation but image and delivery are key

Prepare for rehearsals - we learn the songs before we get together - then we work on playing them together, not learning them

Lastly - you’ve got to love the music!

Bonus points but not essential:

Backing Vocals

Additional instrumentation - acoustic guitar, harmonica, percussion ..

Contacts - good circuit venues, management etc

We are based in Cheshire, Warrington & Wirral areas and have access to Free rehearsal in sandbach area but Prepared to travel for practice if member fits

Hoping to moving fast in this so get in touch asap
