SEEKING
Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
I'm the singer/songwriter and guitarist in a band called 'River Drive' check us out on socials and Spotify and google at riverdriveband.
We're looking for a lead guitarist , we're also open to a keys/synth player if we find the right fit, would be ideal if you're able to do backing vocal aswell as it's crucial to our overall sound.
We're at a stage where we're doing well in the local scene and we're pushing to get touring round the UK. We are a recording band and go into the studio multiple times throughout the year.
We've played a BBC Itroducing event in the middle of Lincoln (2024) . Every song we've ever released has been on BBC Itroducing East Midlands and we've also been into the studio for an interview with Dean Jackson.
We've supported a band called 'The Bracknall' (no not Steve) at the Rescue Rooms this year (2025) infront of 200+ people. We've also played and headlined at the famous Dublin Castle in Camden this year too.
