Horn Funk Gig Opportunity
Hey guys - I've been subbing for a working, gigging horn funk band for the past few months. There's a rhythm section, trumpet, trombone, alto, and sometimes a tenor player. They rehearse in Erie and tend to play in the north suburbs, Lafayette, and Longmont.
I'm getting the sense that the guy I have been subbing for isn't coming back. Unfortunately I live in Castle Rock and the commutes to these guys' events isn't sustainable for me. I had a 120 mile round trip commute to rehearsal last night!
The book is pretty typical '70s horn funk. Easy, not a lot of chord changes, fun for a bass payer, and if you've played in a band like that before you may find that you know a lot of it already.
Most of the guys are National Guard players; very professional and competent. Very good guys. They play 2-3 times a month right now.

Makeshift Funk Band.
Please PM me if you are interested in learning more about the gig.
It's Friday, June 10th right now - we are playing at Dillinger's in Lafayette tonight. Stop by if you want to check it out in person.
