Stone Train Bass Player Auditions

It is with great sadness that we bring news of Paul’s choice to resign as bass player for Stone Train.  Stone Train has been blessed to have him since the beginning and his dedication to the band and skill with the bass are unparalleled.  Paul, you will be missed!  We love you!

Over the next month we will be auditioning for a new bass player.  Paul wears pretty big shoes, so we have some criteria.

A few things to note for prospective players:

1. Stone Train has been writing and preparing to record an original album – we need you studio ready ASAP!

2. Stone Train also plays close to 100 cover songs and has several private events/weddings on the horizon – we need you to already know some or learn our songs SUPER FAST!  See our current song list here: http://www.StoneTrain.com/music/

3. Plan to rehearse with us about once a week.  At rehearsals we prepare for upcoming gigs, and work on original music.  About 2-3 hours.

4. Be available for gigs at least once or twice a month and be willing to do more as we grow together as a band and expand. (gigs usually fall on Fri/Sat – sometimes Sundays for day time events)

We are looking for someone who is committed to music and to co-creating a powerful and musically “tight” band.  We are transitioning more towards originals; however, we intend to keep our solid cover song list in tact so we can remain available for great gigs like weddings and private events.  Our original sound can best be classified as Bluesy Rock…..

Our ideal bass player is someone with personal integrity, amazing skill at the instrument, creative, high vibrational, heart centered, and who knows how to have a BLAST making music!  Ability to sing backup vocals is a plus.

If you have a drinking problem, don’t apply.  We need all our players on the top of their game as we take Stone Train to the next level!

HOW TO APPLY:

1. Send us any video and/or audio of you playing bass

2. Include a brief statement of why you would like to join Stone Train and how you see yourself adding value to the band.

3. Please include links to your FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, and anything else relevant.

4. Include your full name, stage name (if different), contact information, and the best time to reach you.

It’s bittersweet as we say goodbye to Paul and look forward to finding another amazing bass player to rock out with.

FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC!
