- Is available for regular gigs and weekly rehearsals
- Is presentable and fits a professional stage image
- Strong backing vocals are a significant asset

Our ideal candidate is a prepared and punctual musician with a positive attitude, professional approach, and team-first mindset. Talent is important, but being ready for rehearsal and doing the work between rehearsals is essential.

What we offer:

- Established band with a strong local reputation
- 14 booked shows and an active schedule
- Equal pay for all members
