ABOUT

Dr Soul are looking for a new bass player to join our family. It’s a big band with a big sound. 4 piece horn section. We play weddings, private parties, corporate events, clubs. Anywhere! A good bass player makes the band!

Current band makeup is bass, drums, guitar, keys, female singer, male singer, trumpet, trombone, baritone and tenor sax for our soul, blues and groove covers band based north of the river in Perth.

Aim is to gig 1-2 a month. We want to make a little money, but more than that it is for the joy of playing great music, well. If you want to make a full living off this, this isn't for you. If you love a mixture of old school soul, mixed with some modern artists, leaving you with a bluesy after taste, then we need you!

Currently we have around 80 tracks on our set lists.

We rehearse In emerald studios Balcatta, or Hen House in Osbourne park.

We have been playing mainly private gigs and some corporate gigs and occasional dates at places like the Duke of George and Ellington’s, with more weddings this last year.

Please get in touch for more info, either by messaging me on 0449551887 or richhilditch
