Seeking lead guitar for paid Grateful Dead tribute band.
We are seeking a creative and inspired lead guitarist for a paid Grateful Dead tribute band situation. All of the material performed will be from the first 10 to 15 years of the group's repertoire. We are looking for somebody who is already extremely well versed in the deads music and is prepared to perform it. It is assumed that you are also able to sing lead and backing vocals when required.
We are looking for somebody to present this music with an old school aesthetic, old school taste, old school equipment, and old school energy.
We are specifically NOT looking for somebody with an '80s/90s/onward GD/jam aesthetic. We are not looking for that style of playing, we are not looking to perform that repertoire, and we are not looking to present any element of that aesthetic.
It is our hope that we are able to find somebody that is not performing regularly in other GD tribute acts. Although this is not specifically a deal breaker, we are hoping to find somebody that sees this as a special opportunity and paid outlet to creatively perform the band's early music, and not just another pickup show with another pickup band. Again, this is not a deal breaker per se, but we're looking for somebody to bring a very special and intentional energy to this project and properly honour the Dead's legacy, something that is wholly different from the endless sea of GD tribute iterations on the landscape.
We would love to hear from you if this seems up your alley! Please send a note telling us about yourself, and include a link to your IG / website, and videos of you performing GD music.
