Hi
We are Roll with Dice and actively looking for musicians to take Roll With Dice from an acoustic solo project to a band - all instruments considered - ideally - Cajon/bass/cello/fiddle
Bit of Background Blurb from our profile
Jas and Nels met and became friends three years ago.
At the time, Nels was co-writing her fifth poetry based play and Jas was writing and performing solo material and playing in a Devon based band.
Jas suggested that if Nels wanted to branch out into writing song lyrics, he would be happy to put her words to music. And so began their creative partnership.
Nels and Jas write and perform songs and poetry in a mixture of genres ranging from folk, blues, celtic, comedy and media work, such as the song ‘My World’ written by specification for Families For Children.
They perform under the name Roll With Dice with Jas performing the songs and Nels performing poems set to music and also some stand alone poetry. Jas also gigs as a solo acoustic artist and has just finished recording his solo album ‘5 Days’
Nels is a published poet and her most recent anthology ‘Pieces of Eight’ is available to buy through United Press London.
