Almonds and Elephants is looking for a lead guitar player to join us for occasional shows around Berkeley/East Bay.
The music is melodic, mostly acoustic indie/folk-pop — short songs, vocal harmonies, Beatles influenced. You can find Almonds and Elephants on Spotify/Apple Music/etc. to hear the recordings:
This is a low-key project, not a professional touring band. We’ll probably play a show roughly once a quarter around Berkeley, with a rehearsal or two beforehand. Gigs/rehearsals are unpaid for now — everyone involved is doing it because they like the music and want to play.
Looking for someone who:
Plays lead guitar comfortably and has good musical instincts
Can learn fairly simple arrangements from recordings/chord charts
Is reliable and easygoing
Lives reasonably close to Berkeley
Bonus if you sing harmonies, but not required
You don’t need to be a virtuoso. Musical taste, listening, and being enjoyable to rehearse with matter more.
We rehearse in North Berkeley. If interested, send me a little about yourself, what kind of music you like/play, and any recordings or clips if you have them.
