ARE YOU A GOOD SINGER or MUSICIAN?

tigerbee@hotmail.com

I'm an experienced guitarist/songwriter with 100's of completed, marketable, original songs. I can sing & play some of this by myself, but having a SINGER with a really *great* voice & stage presence & a BASSIST, DRUMMER or possibly KEYBOARDIST, would be better.

If you're a singer who's only availble to record when you have the time, that's fine. As a band we'd start by playing locally, gradually integrating the original songs with the cover repertoire (if you want to play regularly, it's good to do at least 70% covers). Once we're tight, go on tour, open for established acts, do showcases, approach record companies & release a CD.

PREREQUISITES: More than anything, you should be willing to put the effort into becoming a better musician. That means having the confidence & discipline to make sacrifices in your personal life. Making the time to put music above other distractions, to get to that point.

Be able to learn parts precisely & quickly by ear (alone), with minimum rehearsals.

Be available to play live on weekends. Or to record without time constraints.

Have a minimum of five years stage (live performing) experience.

If you have a spouse or kids, eventually it may be difficult to devote time to playing.

If you're involved with other bands or projects, then why are you reading this?

Should be finished school & be over 21 years of age, to play in bars.

Tell me what artists you like & who your style resembles, your experience, music goals, age, location & *A LIST OF SONGS THAT YOU'VE PERFORMED* BUT: Unless you live near Montreal or Cornwall, or are willing to travel here, getting together might be impractical.

SINGERS:
Must be have a *strong* clear voice, pleasant tone & be able to easily maintain a good higher vocal register (no falseto). Having a confident stage presence, being energetic & in good shape (slim) are also important. Interested & able to sing in one (or more) of the following styles...

POP/ROCK: HEART, AMANDA MARSHALL, MELISSA ETHERIDGE,

ROCK: JOURNEY, FOREIGNER, BONJOVI, LED ZEPPELIN, U-2, STING,

ALTERNATIVE: GARBAGE, MEREDITH BROOKS, CONCRETE BLONDE,

POP: MARIAH CAREY, CELINE DION, SPICE GIRLS, CHAKA KHAN,

If you're a beginner with an obvious talent & ambition, I'll be willing to hear you...

MUSICIANS:
Should be over 30 years old & can sing harmony. Be tight & precise, have a good sense of dynamics, play set parts as on the CD, but also be able to improvise. No grunge or metal fans.

NEED AN EXPERIENCED GUITARIST?

I'm a guitarist with over 15-yrs stage & studio experience. Excellent arrangement & improvisational abilities. Very creative, fast learner, able to get on stage with minimal rehearsals. Good at singing harmony & solid on lead vocals, covers &/or originals.

Styles: from Classic Rock to recent Pop/Rock, Funk, R&B, Blues, light Jazz.
