07-19-11 – Dallas, TX>Oklahoma City, OK – We are a group of 3 older musicians. We play a variety of music styles, mostly folk tunes and improvised instrumentals. We also play Civil War era tunes and traditional old hymns. If you have a good ear for chords and rhythm, we need your guitar-playing skills to add to our sound. We usually perform about 2 times per month on weekends only. Rehearsals are once a week in the evenings. No bars and smoky clubs…Mostly volunteer gigs, but sometimes we actually get paid! We just love what we do and enjoy the times we get together to play.

05-03-11 – Dallas, TX>Austin, TX – My current vocalist is proving unreliable and a magnet for drama. I’m ready to make a change. I am an accomplished guitarist who also sings harmony. I have gigs booked ranging from $100 to $200 per person per show, and have a booking agent so the shows will keep coming.
I am looking primarily for a versatile lead singer, male or female, to cover acoustic renditions of top 40, classic rock, and a little country. Please note that this is not a full band, but acoustic duo. We’ll do a lot of patio gigs, happy hours, restaurants, and the occasional smoky bar. Playing an instrument is not essential as long as you have a great voice and can entertain a crowd. I’m looking for someone who approaches music professionally, shows up to rehearsals and gigs on time, learns music before rehearsal, and takes care of their voice. Most importantly I’m looking for a partner I can count on.
I’ll be auditioning singers the next two weekends. When responding please include contact information, a little about your experience, and why you are interested. If you have an audio demo, vi — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: 1
