SEEKING

Lead Guitar, Background Singer.

ABOUT

Blackbird Green, original indie band from Melbourne, is looking for a guitarist to share rhythm and lead with current guitarist. The right musician would play our songs but also co-write new material, if interested, and if possible, sing back-up vocals. I sing and play bass, and was the primary songwriter of the eight songs recorded which can be found on Spotify and Youtube. Ideally what I’d like to do is have a weekly rehearsal and regular gigs (at least one per month). As we would be playing in a band, like a team, I would like equal contributions to organise gigs, pay to rehearse and record, and share the load of updating social media.
If this is you, please get in contact. Preferably musicians aged 30+. Thanks.
