Musicians Wanted

Some of our bands are looking for additional musicians, either full-time, part-time, for a particular gig, or for recording sessions. We also have musicians who are new to Western North Carolina and need to build a new band. Check back here from time-to-time to see what opportunities might be appropriate for you or someone you know.

NOTE: These are opportunities for professional musicians, semi-pro musicians and advanced amateurs only! You must be able to perform at a very high level to be considered for these situations, so please don't waste people's valuable time if you're really not up to the job.

Blues Musicians Wanted
An extraordinary blues guitarist is looking to form a first-class blues band, and he needs a bass player & a drummer. You must be a top shelf player to qualify for this band. Call 828-226-0136.

 

Celtic Musicians Wanted
Celtic Music is becoming extremely popular, and there is a shortage of really good bands willing to work smaller venues. We are looking for part-time players, at the moment, who are familiar with a large enough repertoire to be able to sit in with some experienced performers. We are seeking fiddle players, harp, mandolin, guitar, concertina, ullean pipes, bodhran, and singers. Call 828-226-0136.

 

House Backup Band Wanted
A group of very experienced, multi-style, musicians is needed to back up a wide variety of solo & duo performers in an upscale, club venue. Like the Shoe Band on A Prairie Home Companion, you must be able to improvise and play behind featured performers without a practice session! Initially you will be playing for a gourmet dinner, tips and a percentage of CD sales, but later you will get radio exposure, career development services, international exposure, studio recording gigs, and top pay for large venue concerts. This is a great opportunity to expand your virtuosity, to connect with up & coming professional musicians, and to increase your visibility in the music industry. You must be experienced, versatile, improvisational, and either read sheet music or be able to work from a fake book. Also, you need to be able to leave your ego at home because you will be backing up the featured performers, not trying to grab the spotlight for yourself. We are looking for a drummer, bass player, guitar, mandolin, trumpet, saxophone, keyboard, violin, and others.
Call 828-226-0136 for more information.
