Still searching for the right vocal bass...

...who can sound like an upright jazz instrument on some tunes and handle pure low tones on others. Our arrangements are a mixture of jazz, Latin and funk. If you like crunchy chords and have experience walking bass lines, please reach out to roshambosings@yahoo.com for details about auditioning. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights in Oakland and San Francisco. We won the Bay Area Regional Harmony Sweeps in 2013 and are dedicated musicians who know how to have fun. Do you have what it takes to be our next bass?
