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 incor****ating 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 relation****ps 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 is 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.
