Cliff + Musician in Kingston, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

RetroKings a group/presentation with similar expectations on music, gigs and part time interest.

If your interested in equal expectations are treated equality, and have equal chance to put forward songs and to practice,

Looking for backup musicians that are mature, down to earth, working, stable, maybe married, 50, 60’s years old, or semi retired /family type that wants to have fun!...and will show up every two weeks and only practice 7 pm -9, no late nights. We are pretty organized each week. This is not a social club, practice. We just want stable, happy to play types with no big expectations, no big dreams or egos to play on big stages, travel or major remuneration expectations.

We have lots of gigs - local events, shows and lounges. Because we have the connections with booking agents.

See provided recordings to review for your interest. So, to give you a sense of our playing and band "expectations".

The bands focus will be on folk/rock soft - classic rock and original tunes - peppered in with some unique songs presented with a good feel, singing and harmonies too to be much featured and with your creative interpretations. 3 part harmonies.

I am not interested on "holding the stage on my own" or that it’s about any (one) band member, it’s a team effort, that’s is.

I can sing /harmonize and enjoy to put two, three voices together too - we want memberships that will last of a band.

(No diva's apply!)

And, if NO Band experience I would suggest you get some first. Then we can talk.
