Looking for a drummer to start an original project (rock, pop, folk, country type stuff - think Ryan Adams, Butch Walker, Ryan Bingham, etc.). Need a drummer with a great groove that can play to the songs, not over them. Have vocals/guitar and bass. Will add another guitar player. Not paying much (if at all) and starting from the ground floor.

alan@adventmusic.net in Bridgewater
ESTABLISHED PROG BAND SEEKS TALENTED BASS PLAYER: Advent, one of NJ's best-loved progressive-rock bands, is looking for a talented bassist. Desired skills include vocal abilities (at least backing vocals), comfort with odd time signatures/changes, and the ability to read music. Multi-instrumental capabilities are also a big plus. The band has been around for over 20 years now, released two CDs (the latter having received a very favorable review in "Guitar Player" magazine), contributed to several tribute projects (two for Gentle Giant and one for Procol Harum), and performed at several major prog festivals/live series over the past few years. The group is currently in the process of recording its third CD and we'd really like to have our new bass player on board ASAP. www.adventmusic.net/

Classic Rock cover band is currently holding auditions for a lead singer for a long-term fill in position. We cover everything from the 1960’s to today, all music styles represented. This is a walk-in situation, so we need someone who is reliable & dedicated with no "issues", and can learn the material quickly and can perform in front of a crowd. We rehearse once a week and play twice a month, this is a low-pressure situation, but we are very serious about playing – This is NOT a high-paying, gig every week situation with management if that is what you seek, however. Interested parties with photos/MP3 files please e-mail us.
