Can't seem to get in rehearsal without two bass players quitting,one lead guitarist quitting and another getting the boot.Our website is forever changing.The expense of getting their mug on the press kits and then making up new ones every time a new player claims to be on board.We are at suare one and need to get practicing in January as our agents are booking us starting February.So,here's the story..Independent Nashville country rock/rock/blues/southern rock recording artist(NO RECORD DEAL) is looking for serious bass and lead to tour in 2007.Backup vocals would be great!!!!Housing may be possible during rehearsals which is in the Nashville area.Must be free to travel,no big heads,no drugs,no heavy drinkers(preferably non-drinkers).This is a full time position so if you can't leave home,family issues,or think its your band then please stick with your local bar band...........

Great input my friend and will take under advisement.Just to see who is serious we are setting up live auditions in Nashville and doing away with demos and mp3's.That way we will see who is really serious since they will have to pay their own way down and back to impress us with their skills if this is what they REALLY want.Each member will be under contract for one year.I'm not coming down on the weekend warriors but the wannabes that don't have the drive to suceed shouldn't be wasting the time of those on the next level

Its fulltime requiring travel.I lived in Gainesville for 11 years before moving north 7 years ago.

Believe me,I agree with everything you are saying as this band I'm in is a business like any other and we will except the inexperienced to a point as I'm not the best drummer around but yet my new boss saw something in me that impressed him more than music..commitment,honesty,clear head.The rest will fall into place as we rehearse together as a band.I'll be leaving for the Music City on Jan.7 to start my new year..Keep tabs on the website to see what we are up to....

We will be practicing 6 days to get ready to on the road by February.Its music bootcamp.Each day will be 10-12 hours........Its definitely not for the weak but the rewards will pay off but one must start from the bottom and work up as the saying goes.

hey, I'm a mid twenties guitar guy here in Eastern KY. I majored in jazz performance for 4 years at MSU but mostly do a rippin texas blues style lead guitar ala SRV. Have gear and transportation.
