Any Southern rock bands want a gig?

Postby deesonic on Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:50 am

The Keith Ramsey Band, my old Southern rock band, was asked to play a private party for a company located in Huntsville. Unfortunately we've been on hiatus for two years and I can't get the rest of the guys on board to pull this one off I guess. So, I'm putting it out there in case anyone else is interested. I told the guy if we can't do it, I'm sure we could find someone. The details:

When: March 23, 2-6pm (yep, that's a Tuesday)
Why: Company 10 year anniversary party
Style: They really are hoping for a Southern/Classic rock type band. Originals are welcome, but I'm sure they'll want to hear some standards as well. They will ask for a demo.
Pay: I'm told the gig would pay at least $500, but it's certainly negotiable I'm told.

Sounds like a pretty cool gig actually. PM for contact info if you're interested.

Wow! I got several responses on this. Give me a day or two to sort through and ask the guy a few more questions, and I'll get back with info via pm. Let me remind that the gig is a typical work day gig and band will be responsible for pa and sound.

Dee, see if the guy would like just a 4 hour southern rock drum solo?!?!?

I will do it for $500.

Thanks.

Well, I called with a few suggestions on Monday. I got called back today with word that they found a band. I can only hope it's someone on The Abbey. I have no idea. Hope I didn't get anyone to fired up.
