Singer / Guitarist Wanted for Original Americana-Country Recording Looking for a male singer and acoustic guitar player for a recording session for original songs written for a television project. The songs are slow Americana/country ballads. I am specifically looking for an older, weathered, lived-in voice — ideally a singer in his late 60s, 70s or older. Think less polished Nashville session singer and more someone who sounds like he has actually lived the stories he is singing. Strong acoustic guitar skills are a plus, but the voice and emotional authenticity are most important. This is a paid recording session. Pay: $250 per session/day Please send: * A short bio * Your age * Audio or video samples * Any examples of you singing Americana, country, folk, blues, or acoustic material * Whether you play guitar Please do not send only highly produced commercial country demos. I am much more interested in hearing what you sound like stripped down — one voice, one guitar, live if possible. Raw character, phrasing, emotion and authenticity matter more to me than studio polish. Los Angeles area preferred. This is for demo recordings only at this stage, with the possibility of additional songs if the collaboration works well.
