By Stoney ⋅ June 16, 2008 ⋅

With a handful of booked dates in their future including an appearance at Rock Summit in Pensacola, Florida on August 30th, hard rock/metal Augusta band Shotgun Opera have set their sights on acquiring a new second lead vocalist. According to the band site at www.myspace.com/shotgunopera1, open auditions will begin at 7:30 on Wednesday night June 18th at the Playground Bar on Broad Street and run for the next two weeks. Interested vocalists are asked to message the band through their myspace page to be put on a list and receive a return message with audition time. Auditioning vocalists are also asked to visit the visit the band’s page and download the songs in the player to become familiar with each track prior to audition. The band will have lyric sheets available but are insistent that prospective vocalist do not arrive at auditions unprepared. Shotgun Opera has also stated:

“…we are not looking for screamers, growlers, or raspy singers. We have that covered. We want someone with a wide vocal range and the ability to harmonize well. Also, we don’t want anyone who can’t make the band a priority. We practice at least twice a week, and are working up a heavy show schedule. If your job, family, or life in general sets restrictions on your available times, please don’t waste our time or yours. Also, we play in a lot of bars, so no one under 21.”
