Hi we are a professional band who is completing our album currently. Our drummer and lead will be departing soon after this session. That puts a bit of a dampener on booking further gigs at the moment. We do have contacts and a booking agent currently waiting in the wings.

If you dig Susan Tedeschi, Grace Potter, Koko Taylor, Etta James, Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt, Joss Stone, Joan Osborne then you will dig us. We love playing songs by those artists when doin' cover gigs around here but we would also like to do an adaption our own while honoring the work that has been put forward by those artists.

But cover gigs ain't what we are all about either. We are looking to play the few original clubs in the area but also look forward to playing some larger houses/events, open for national acts and also showcase clubs (NYC/Boston). We are very serious about the whole creative process and we welcome all to the table to contribute to the meal. "You don't go hungry if ya' got Pot Luck".

We are all in are 30's to 40's.

In the drummer category we are looking for someone who will be versed in a variety of meters and styles with stage experiece. Writing and Reading charts always helps but is not a prerequisite. Also owning a percussion set up is an added bonus.

As for the lead guitar position we are looking for someone who is a tone junkie. If you own a strat, prs, tele, hollowbody, les paul or all of the above...sweet! We look for someone who not only will just play chords through the verses and wait for the solo to come around but someone who will also write melodic phrases that compliment the songs and band.

Thanks and we look forward to hearing from ya!

Hi,
I'm a guitarist with over 30 years experience playing R&B, Country, Southern Rock, Pop, Folk Rock and Standards in club and private party/wedding bands. Currently playing with Joe Adee and the North Creek Band (private parties) about once a month.

Was the guitarist with "The Heaters" in 94 & 95 with Jeannie Blake fronting the group. I am familiar with about 25 percent of your song list.

Listened to your music - excellent! Classy web site - vocals A+. Sorry to hear that you're having to find a new guitarist and drummer.

Best Wishes,
Jack
