Why Oh Why!

This was PERFECT (except that it's in the Twin Cities and all) until I read this:

We will need you to sing lead on a couple songs and back-up harmonies on many, so singing is a requirement.

I can't sing. Period. Full stop.
That said, I like the set list a lot.

Looking for a drummer to join our gigging band (Twin Cities)

We are a variety cover band that plays out once or twice a month and practices once a week.

We are 4 guys -- guitar, keyboards, bass and a vocalist (we live in Rosemount, Prior Lake, Plymouth and Stillwater - so basically the four corners of the Twin Cities) - and we need a drummer to join the band because our current drummer is moving on to other things.

We are older guys in our late 50s and early 60s and we play music from the 60s-80s - rock, pop and some country. We all take turns with lead vocals and harmonies. We will need you to sing lead on a couple songs and back-up harmonies on many, so singing is a requirement.

We are a very laid back, non-hyper band with no big egos, no drinking or drug problems and no drama. We just love to play music and get people to drink and dance and tip the bar staff well. :-)

We have about 100 songs in our repertoire and play about 50 of them at any given gig (4 sets of 13 songs over 4 hours).

Here are some of the songs we do. If this sounds like the kind of music you like to play, contact me and we'll set up an audition. (You are also welcome to bring new songs, too. We always like to add songs and expand our horizons.)
