moosebutter seeks bass for full-time position beginning June 2006

maybe a different voice part 'cuz one of us can sing bass, too, but he
doesn't really want to.  So I guess you can inquire if you are not of
the bass persuasion.  Or if you're a bass in The Persuasions.

You: Bass singer, a cappella experience, preferably able to percuss
(limited) at the same time, and of course you are an acutely
intelligent person who will look smashing in a red jumpsuit and
headband.  Formal vocal training good, real-world performing experience
nice, cooking skills a definite plus, comedy experience might be cool
but it was probably just you doing an old Bill Cosby routine at your
school talent show so that doesn't count, comedy and music
improvisation skill also kosher, writing and arranging abilities blah
blah brilliant sight-reader yada yada perfect pitch sumthin mumble
michael bolton.  If you are deft at live-animal eating or
double-jointed-ness please keep it to yourself.

Us: moosebutter

The deal-ey-oh:

Submit resume and audio samples by May 15, sooner if possible

Please include a detailed list of experience and skills - list any all
things you can bring to the group, including business areas.
Instruments played, etc.  Also, personal experience and favorite
musical topics you would most like to present in context of an
educational program, and how you would present them (musical examples
singable by 3-4 dudes would be good here).

Oooo!  Oooo!  Ooo!  Also, yeah, if you are proficient at setting
up/working sound equipment and/or recording and editing recordings,
then we shall hug you tenderly, brush you with olive oil, and staple
you to the wall so all generations can adore your skills.

If we schedule an audition we'll expect you to learn a bunch of songs
and come sing with us to see if we like you.

More: We are clean-living (no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no loose
women, no kung-fu movies unless from the 70's) and expect our show and
our business lives to reflect this.  Foul humor, unethical behavior,
poor role-modeling for kids will not be tolerated.  There will be small
kids on the road with us, and we'll be performing for lots of kids as
well as families in addition to our sold-out arena shows with our
opening band IRON MAIDEN.  We don't even swear, so don't apply if
that's too weird for you.

You'll be expected to learn a lot of music and do a lot of shows
quickly, jive with the chemistry and direction of the group, and
occasionally prance like a noble antelope if that's what the paying
public wants to see.  Health and personal commitments should allow for
rigorous touring regime.

If hired, you will be asked to relocate to the Boulder, Colorado area,
learn a ton of music on your own, take part in continuing voice lessons
and musical study, and maintain your own happy life when not on the
road or performing.

Further details can certainly be discussed.

As part of the huge 49th celebration of the American A Cappella Alliance singers' weekend called Spring Sing, a group born in Colorado and known worldwide as "m-pact" -- and the exciting 2003 Rocky Mountain a cappella champs, "Groove Society" -- join in what may be called the best a cappella vocal jazz concert ever held -- anywhere.

• m-pact is celebrating its 10th anniversary as the leading six-voice star of contemporary a cappella following their 1996 win as National Harmony Sweepstakes Champion -- also the 10th anniversary of their last Spring Sing appearance on their way to those same National Finals.
• m-pact is ready to release its newest album at the Boulder Theater that night -- one of the biggest CD Release parties anyone's ever scheduled in Colorado.
• m-pact is celebrating these activities in Colorado, where much of its large fan base resides, by including six days of school residencies here as part of their visit, thanks to Flesher-Hinton Music Company and Frontier Airlines. Call 888-949-2857 to find out about this.
• Groove Society, well respected in Colorado and lately far beyond our borders, will make its own "impact" on the national audience of singers who will be on hand at the Boulder Theater for this signal event.
• Groove Society's significant reputation, based upon their members' Grammy Award winning experience in "Vocal Jazz I" at University of Northern Colorado, extends beyond vocal jazz to superb renditions in a variety of Latin, Blues, Rock and R&B selections from their initial CD.

By the end of the day the judges determine the top few groups and those groups will get to perform again for the public at the evening concert that is finished off with a performance by Groove Society.

Please come out show your enthusiasm for these kids who are the future of vocal singing for Acappella, jazz and other great musical forms.

Have a great weekend!

Hi there,
I have been trying to find an acapella group to join for a while now,
and after never finding any audition opportunities in the paper, I
decided to try this! If anyone is interested in forming a group, or
needs either a soprano or alto for their group, or knows of any
auditions that are coming up, please let me know! I am excited to start
attending acapella events that I see posted on this site! This is
great!

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced a cappella singer and audio engineer
with a good sized sound system for rent. I'm also willing to engineer
your event or provide parts of a system or provide just about anything
you might want/need (audio wise) for your show. Please email me
(ivy_productions@...) or call 3-988-5685 if there is anything I
can do to help with your event.

For a diverse program of eclectic music that celebrates the human
voice, please consider treating yourself to Voice Dance by Canto
Spiritus. From Gregorian chant to madrigal to pop to contemporary --
there's something to please everyone.

Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 PM at Unity Church of Denver, 3021 South
University Blvd, between Yale and Hampden. Tickets are $15 at the door
or $12 online at www.cantospiritus.org.

Canto Spiritus. Not your mother's chamber choir.

Group seeks M/F singers and percussionist. Group likes all kinds of
music, long walks on beach, candlelit dinners...oh wait! Just
kidding:

Hi all,

I represent several singers who are looking to form a group. We are
1 guy, 3 girls, and are actively seeking additional singers in
Denver/Boulder local area. Specifically, we are looking for more
guys (but girls are encouraged to try out too), and for a vocal
percussionist (guy or girl). Because half of us are students, and
not in the state at the moment, we are looking to get started in
late August (when the aforementioned students return), but are
currently in the process of arranging music and working out all
the "starting a group" administration stuff.

So, if you love to sing...you aren't currently spoken for...and you
would like to be...give us a shout, and we will send you more
information about us.
