Are you a female vocalist with a great ear for harmony? Do you love the Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris blend or the Neil Young/Nicolette Larson sound? If so, we'd love to hear from you!
We're an established, regularly gigging Bay Area Americana band seeking a **long-term harmony singer** while our current vocalist is away performing in a national touring stage production. Her plans to return are uncertain, so **this opportunity could become a permanent position for the right person.**
We perform throughout Northern California—from Napa and Vacaville to San Francisco and points in between—so reliable transportation and a willingness to travel are essential. We have an established history of paid performances and are planning our 2027 schedule.
Our repertoire blends original Americana with carefully chosen covers spanning classic country, folk, rock, and bluegrass. We perform in acoustic duo, trio, and quartet formats as well as a full five-piece electric band.
We're looking for someone with a strong ear for harmony, the ability to learn and reproduce established vocal arrangements, and a genuine enthusiasm for supporting the songs and lead vocals. This is an artist-led project, with plenty of room for musical creativity and collaboration.
Pay varies by gig, but every band member is guaranteed a minimum hourly/per-set rate regardless of the venue payout.
If you play an instrument, that's a plus, but it's not required. There may also be opportunities to sing lead on a couple of songs.
An initial audition will take place in Berkeley, with full-band rehearsals in West Oakland.
If you're dependable, have a great ear for harmony, enjoy performing live, and love making music with good people, we'd love to hear from you.
Please send links to videos or recordings showcasing your singing—especially harmony vocals, if possible. I'll share links to our music and live performances, and if it looks like a good fit, we'll arrange an audition and talk further.
