As if Josh Ritter coming to town weren't incentive enough to block out a Friday night (July 17), now a lucky few won't just get to see him, they'll get to play with him too.
The Moscow, Idaho, singer/songwriter is looking for a few good horn players to serve in his backing band for his Kennewick show July 17 at the Red Room.
Below is the note the Ritter camp is circulating at select towns on the current tour. Show him what you've got Tri-Cities!
There's been too many times during past tours when we thought, "Wouldn't it kick ass if we had some horns tonight?" Well, no more just talking about it. We know there's a lot of talented musicians out there.
We're looking for several horn players in each town to play with Josh and the band during 2 or 3 songs at each show.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Must read music!
2. Must have a Myspace/Youtube/Website link to you playing your instrument.
3. Brass, saxes preferred...but we'd be down with violin, accordion, flute.
4. No singers - unless you are a legitimate opera singer.
5. Must be available for soundcheck on day of show
If you're interested, please send an email to playwithjosh@gmail.com. Subject should be "HORNS FOR KENNEWICK" Include your instrument played, credentials, links to see and hear you play — plus your full name and phone number.
If you're what we're looking for, we will be in touch with a schedule for the day, as well as the music to learn. On the day of the show, you'll arrive early to play during soundcheck and for the show.
