Hey, an opportunity if you are within striking distance of Loudoun County VA.
It's about 75% country new and old, and a dash of classic rock. Band works most weekends, but not all. The occasional weeknight gig. Mostly No. VA area.
Excellent female singer who is NOT a drama queen.
Excellent young lead guitarist who is not ego'd out.
Bandleader is a good guy and plays fiddle, steel, mandolin, guitar, banjo. The band plays a couple of bars, and a lot of private functions, also several VA and MD carnivals in the summers.
Good PA rig, and a sound man who also sings well.
Money is typically $100 and up.

I've been with them for 8 years, and believe me, I would not have stayed this long unless it was a sweet gig!

They need a bassist who can sing harmonies and lead.

One thing I always liked, they don't rehearse. They might have 1 or 2 to get a new bassist up to speed, but I'm guessing none after that.

PM me if interested!
