Greetings,

My NJ-based progressive-rock band, Advent, is looking for a bass or Stick player to complete our lineup. We are an extremely well-established group whose last CD, Cantus Firmus, has been particularly successful (including having received a very positive review in Guitar Player magazine), and our new album is on target for release this year. From a stylistic perspective, we summarize our music as follows: "Perhaps a modern equivalent to the symphonic side of classic English progressive-rock groups like Gentle Giant, (early) Genesis, and Procol Harum, but with a little Tubes-style funk and the occasional jazz-rock flourish as well, Advent seeks to blend true classical-quality composition with the excitement and dynamics of rock music."

While our primary motivation is to find someone to take primary responsible for the bass role in our group, we have enjoyed very good results with two other Stick players in this position in the past--and, since I play Stick too, I think having another Stickist in the band could also open up some very interesting possibilities. With this in mind, we are very open to any candidates that play bass and/or Stick and I'd definitely appreciate any help you might be able to provide in finding the right candidate (whether it may be you or someone you know). Please drop me a line if you have any questions, have an interest in the position, or know of someone who might be a good fit.

Thanks a lot and take care,


Alan
