I am a blues/jazz singer looking to start a new project with a piano player.

I sing locally with a well established working cover band and other original bands from time to time.

I'm looking to start a new smaller project to pick up more gigs and introduce a more diverse repetoire.

I'm looking for a piano player of any age but of a high standard. It's likely that you'll need to transpose keys etc and be able to communicate with other guest players (bass/drums mainly) when necessary.

Initially, I aim to put together a 2/2.5 hour set of jazz, blues and soul classics with some more modern songs thrown in.

I'd like a rehearsal a week to begin with moving to a less regular schedule once songs are down and gigs begin. I'd like a gig a month but am prepared to see what the economy and the island vibe allows for. I'm looking mainly at hotel gigs, vineyards and private functions. I have great contacts as I currently play a lot of these places on a regular basis with bigger bands.

I'm happy to provide a demo if requested or you can come and see me gig at hermans in a few weeks OR I can sing down the phone to you - whatever works!

I've been singing for about 10 years now, am classically trained but am essentially a soul singer with blues and jazz tendencies.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Amber,
saw your ad and i might be interested, especially if you have connections for plum gigs. I backed up many singers, some solo, some ensemble. Can transpose no problem and play the genres you're looking for.
Are you singing somewhere in the near future I might be able to attend? Let me know...Amy - Thu, 7 May 2009 1:59pm
