Nationally-known pop vocal band All About Buford seeks one more
powerful female singer to complete our sound. We need a pro-level
singer with stage presence and power. Preferably alto range, but
anyone who can comfortably sing in an alto range is fine. Someone with
a strong solo voice who can groove. All performances are paid. Great
ear required. Songwriting and arranging skills a plus; ability to play
other instruments also welcomed. Also are incorporating pedals and
effects. Songs are often arranged collectively - you will not be
reading from written arrangements for the most part (think band
structure), though that is changing slightly. All members get a chance
to sing lead, but also will be required to sing blended but creative
backup parts. The music is pop-oriented, with a little of whatever
else moves us, so you must have a pop voice and sensibility, and a hip
look - we want a good visual onstage as well as good music! Must be
able to make a commitment to some touring, and consistent gigging.
Competent mic technique and comfortable performance skills (movement,
ability to banter and joke) required.
We perform solely at listening rooms, festivals and concert halls of
prestige. We have strong relationships with many high-end venues, with
new performances being booked all the time. Booking is done both
internally and externally, but all management and business is
currently done internally by the members of the band. New recording in
process.
Though this is not currently a full-time commitment, it may become so
at some point (or it may not). We are an award-winning vocal band
based in the Boston area, but we are a commuting band, so disparate
locations are ok. Rehearsals approximately once a week (when
geographically together), perhaps more during the initial phase.
Please contact amy@..., or 617.290.6749 with sound
clips, photo and bio/resume. We do need to hear and see you online (or
via mail) before we meet in person. If you'd like to mail recordings
and materials, please send to: Amy Malkoff, 182 Pleasant Street,
Marblehead, MA 01945. Any questions or concerns can also be sent to
the same address. We look forward to hearing from you and to a
creative, fun, and innovative project!
