ABOUT

Black Betty is a Classic Rock cover band. We cover classic and contemporary rock anthems with a big guitar sound and lots of energy. Think Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, Pat Benatar, P!ink, No Doubt, Baby Animals and AC/DC.

We are now expanding and need to add a killer keyboard player to our lineup! Ideally you will live in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne (we rehearse at Hydra in Burwood) and have a great command and love of classic rock songs from the 80's to 00's. We are looking for a talented keys player to enhance our already extensive song list with huge songs from bands like Journey, Bon Jovi, Reo Speed Wagon, Van Halen etc. You will also ideally be a competent backup singer, able to sing harmonies etc, and maybe even take on lead vocals for a song or two.

Contact me with video/audio links to your material and for more information.
