Bass Guitar.ABOUT
Thank you for your interest in the Bass Guitar vacancy in Eva’s Dream.
• Eva’s Dream’s Ethos & Public Image.
“Named after a short story by Anne Frank, Eva’s Dream have been entertaining listeners, near and far with their own unique brand of Poetic Pop for over 28 years now. Always sounding fresh and up for re-invention, if ever there was a band to open minds and bridge the generation gap it’s Eva’s Dream. Joni Mitchell once said that a good song should have something for the Head, something for the Heart and something for the Feet. Well if that’s the case then it’s a recipe Eva’s Dream has been cooking up for a while now. Tune in to the Eva’s Dream vibe Ladies and Gentleman, you’ll love it”.
• Eva’s Dream, a very brief History.
The band has existed as a concept for over 28 years. Our current vacancy has been necessitated by a member amicably moving on to other things.
• Eva’s Dream’s Aims.
Our intention is to play our original songs as well and as frequently as possible, and this means we mostly tend to play local charity events and “Minfests”. Such events are often unpaid. Eva’s Dream is not and almost certainly never will be aiming for superstardom.
• Eva’s Dream Sample Footage.
To get a flavour of what we do go to youtube and search for “Eva’s Dream - The Elm Tree - Cambridge Sunday 11th February 2024".
• Eva’s Dream’s Rehearsal Schedule.
Full Band Rehearsals at Fairycroft House, Saffron Walden on a fortnightly basis which may be increasing.
• Eva’s Dream. A gentle word to the wise.
When recruiting, we do find a lot of respondents see the footage and tell us that while they think it’s great, it’s not exactly what they’re looking for in an originals band. As a musician of long and professional standing I would make the friendly suggestion that applicants consider the following. Most originals bands tend to be somewhat generically derivative and bands with such a strong spark of originality as Eva’s Dream, with our reputation for winning over audiences previously completely unaware of our work, are extremely rare. As musicians, we can all tend to be dreamers but you can have an awful long time for the exact band of your dreams to somehow magically track you down especially if you are not, as we have done, going to create that dream band yourself. As we say, perhaps a reality worth considering.
Please let us know what you think either way and please feel free to ask any questions.
Very Best Wishes.
Paul, Katie, Kevin, Trudi & Neil.
