SEEKING

ABOUT

My name is Ward Hancock and I am a young musician from Darwin. I have been playing music since I was eleven. I sing and play guitar in a band called "Rambutan Jam Band" (look us up on soundcloud) and I do regular solo gigs as "Ward Hancock" (also on Soundcloud) and am involved with a side project called "Ward Hancock Trio". I have toured three times (2 times as RJB, once as WHT). Up in Darwin I have supported the likes of Big Scary, Dan Sultan, The Pierce Brothers, Courtney Barnett and Josh Pyke. I have about 2 hours of original material and have no problems with writing more. I don't know many covers but can learn them. I am planning to move to Melbourne in late May to pursue my dream of being a professional musician. I am a regular giger and have no problem with winging it, which happens a fair bit up here. I am planing to start practicing around 6-8 hours a day to become the best I can be. I can offer the following:
- vocals
- rhythm or lead guitar
- Harmonica
- Didgeridoo
I am very organised, managing the RJB and my own solo career - I have organised two of the three tours I have been on, and they have all run very smoothly.
