Our ad on Craigslist has turned up a number of potential members!
We have had musicians from all around Greenville and the Upstate contacting us and checked out a few of them already but have a ways to go I believe.
I’m compiling a database of these musicians and here’s the summary so far:
- Vocalists – 2 (Do not play instruments)
- Guitarists – 7 (only 1 is a “lead” singer)
- Drummers – 9 (one is a “lead” singer)
- Keys – 3 (one is a “lead” singer)
- Other – 11 (We’ve had sax, trumpet, flute, conga and harp players contact us!)
- Bass – 2 (I could switch to rhythm guitar)
That list is in the order of what we need most…. So, if you are reading this, and you are a vocalist, preferably one who plays an instrument, then you are on my “most wanted” list!
If there is anyone who has emailed and I have *NOT* contacted you in someway, then please try to reach me another way, through facebook for instance (John M. Hoyt or Hot As A Pepper), in case something is being lost in email.
I promise to get back with each of you as quickly as I possibly can!
If you are not willing to commit to AT LEAST one rehearsal a week, and one weekend gig per month over the next six months and hopefully TWO weekend gigs per month with as many as FOUR over the next year, then this is likely not for you.
Thanks everyone for the support!!!!
