We Need A Guitarist in NH

Our Rush tribute band recently lost our guitarist (he works for a UPS-type of company, so he stepped down because of his increased work week). Since he left we've put up ads on local CLs, BandMix. put the word out on FB, Twitter, etc. with no leads at all. This weekend we put up flyers at a couple local music stores too.

Any suggestion of where else to advertise? We're in Central New Hampshire.

About 4" now. It's been coming down lightly since noon.

Going to be tough to find someone. Unfortunately, there are a lot of musicians who do not want to play in tribute bands and those who do, usually can't handle the material well enough to pull it off, especially if you're doing Rush.

How often are you planning on practicing/gigging? My guitarist might be up for it, but he's in two bands, lives in Strafford and works in Portsmouth, so it would be a stretch.

We are practicing once a week, usually Fridays, but could change to Saturdays if needed. Once we start gigging, in the Spring, we aren't looking to tour the world and elsewhere, maybe once a month or so.

I could carpool with him if he'd be interested. I take I-89 from the Derry area, and there's a park and ride on Exit 1 I think.

Thanks!
