We are an up and coming Sydney based Pop/Folk/Rock band.
We have a style of unapologetically passionate & catchy music that starts with a minimalistic approach and ends with a wall of heart-on-sleeve sound.

Formerly The Cam Nacson Band, we toured Australia in 2014 with Ron Pope and are crazy excited about releasing our debut album in early 2015.

We're looking for a violinist who can also sing bv's and preferably play piano as well.
We don't work off sheet music so the ability to adapt and improvise is a must.

In saying that, we have some amazing opportunities headed our way with 2 labels and a publisher currently in talks with us, so commitment and passion for music as a career is the most important thing to us over sheer ability.

We are not looking for a session musician, we want you to be a permanent and integral member of our band,
someone who is excited about the prospect of travelling overseas (most likely America, UK & Scandinavia) and passionate about the music we make.
