23 North: Uncorked!
A great crowd came out to the first event of the 2015-16 season of the Uncorked Series at the Saints & Sinners Lounge within the Midland Center for the Arts, Thursday, September 3rd! We appreciated the generous support of our audience in this fine venue!
Wanted: Bass Player
Our search for a bass player is underway. Unfortunately, health concerns have made it difficult for our original bassist/lead vocalist, Randy Urchick, to continue with the band.
While we would love to have a bass player who can sing the blues too, singing is not a requirement. Monique Ella Rose, Eric Johnson, and Kris Goodwin will continue to take on lead and background vocals. We cover songs from a wide-range of blues artists with forays into jazz and funk. Our horn section distinguishes us from most blues bands allowing for extra musical texture and energy. Developing original material is another interest of the group.
Who we are:
We're a mix of music-educated (some music educators), songwriters, arrangers, vocalists and instrumentalists. Though we're only approaching our first anniversary as a band, many of us have performed in the music scene for years. Our band members strive for top-notch performances no matter the gig. So far we've enjoyed playing out at benefits such as Saginaw On Stage (as well as for specific locals we've wanted to help out), at venues like the Uncorked Series at Saints & Sinners Lounge, as well as at Slo' Bones Barbecue, and the Eagles Club in Midland. We aim to play in blues competitions and to perform at festivals, private events, and other events as we become aware of them.
If you or someone you know is interested, contact us at the23northbluesband<at>gmail.com or call me at 989-513-3246
