If anyone out there has any doubts about Russ, put them to bed. He is the real deal, and if anybody can get an 11 piece r&b/funk band off the ground, its him. I've played with Russ in the past, and while we have different tastes in music, he is 100% a team player. P,us, he's got some serious chops!
If there is a keyboard player out there looking for the real deal, this guy may be just the ticket for you.
We are an R+B/Soul/Blues band, 11 people strong. 3 Female backing vocalists. 4 man horn section. We are seriously committed and all have pro chops.
We have been looking for a talented and committed keyboardist to complete our lineup for two months now and, seemingly, there are none to be found.
We will be playing out regularly come February and I am sure that once the dollars materialize (and they will) we will have our choice of hired guns - but we are looking for a team player RIGHT NOW. Someone who wants a steady, long term band that is very quickly evolving into something very special.
Please contact us if you are available for practices on Sunday nights in Farmingdale. 3 hours, that's all. Please don't be playing in 5 other bands simultaneously. If you like what you hear and want aboard then be prepared to make a commitment and bring your "A" game to the rehearsals. It is 3 hours a week that will certainly pay off by the beginning of 2009.
For more information you can contact me through Craigslist and I will provide a phone number.
