Blue Jupiter is a funk rock vocal group who is looking for a new bass singer. Although they are based in Nashville, their high tenor, Chris Chatham, is a Pittsburgher, and they perform in Pgh regularly.
Blue Jupiter is a primarily a cappella group with two successful albums and a busy North American/Canadian touring schedule. These are full-time, college-educated, professional musicians, and their style is neither country nor doo-wop nor barbershop. Their originals are complex and rich, and their covers include atypical a cappella pieces with awesome instrumentation mimicry, such as Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke, BenFold's Steven's Last Night, Santana's Smooth, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's Mr. Pinstriped Suit.
Please check out the website, www.bluejupiter.com, and pass the word. This is an excellent opportunity for the right bass singer!
Requirements:
Low Bb
Full, Rich tones
NO OCTAVE PEDALS
Must be able to combo musically (drums and bass at same time)
Soloing capabilities
Rhythmically Tight
Sense of "Pocket"
Sings in tune
Punchy and natural Syllable usage
Can walk chord changes naturally
Can make up great bass lines
Self motivated
20-28 Years Old
Coordinated enough to step-touch
Relocate to Nashville, TN ASAP
You should be a dedicated, attractive male singer, between 20-28 years old, willing to relocate to Nashville, TN THIS MONTH! You should like to sing funk, pop, and rock, be able to carry several leads, and hold the tempo, key, and groove for an entire show. You need to be on time, alert, a good driver, and self motivated to learn and tune each note of every bass line you ever sing. You need to be able to make up bass lines that are interesting and appropriate. You need to be able to learn bass lines from recordings, with out having it written out for you. You must be comfortable talking and teaching young audiences about performing, singing, and touring. You may not be the best bass in the world, but you should want it so bad, that you won't sleep for months until you are.
A little bout us: Blue Jupiter is a nationally touring vocal group. We use a guitar on some songs, piano, on some during the holidays, and have been toying around with hiring a drummer (a real one - not a VP) - so if you are a hard-core a cappella person, this isn't for you (although 90% of our show is still a cappella). We refuse to do crappy original music, we are not a comedy group, we do not market ourselves as a novelty. We are co-writing with some of Nashville's finer songwriters, we are self-produced and self-managed. We do take this seriously. We have 2 albums out, we have a third on the way that could include YOU! We do pay everyone a salary, you would be paid an entry-level salary staring in August. It will be enough to live off of. We have 2 touring schedules - Christmas (Nov-Jan,1) and
non-Christmas (all other months). Off the road, we are funny, friendly, trust-worthy, humbled by other talent, and appreciate good music. We like Grand Theft Auto, South Park, The Family Guy, and Comedy Central. We appreciate the fine cinematic qualities of Silent Night Deadly Night. We are honest with each other, and offensive at times.
This is your chance to get out you current group that isn't going anywhere, or finally join one that is professional! No day jobs! After a few months, we may offer health benefits, profit sharing, and stock ownership. This is a great opportunity.
Send me:
A picture (taken in the last month)
A resume or bio
A CD with bass examples of funky lines, jazz changes, and driving rock stuff, a couple examples of you singing bass and drums at the same time and some lead examples
A video with a performance sample within the past year.
A reference or two that we can call
Call me if you have questions
