First of all, THANK YOU for your interest. Please fill your answers on the questionaire below in the space provided. I know it's a lot of information, but it will give us a good idea of who you are. Don't think too much and be realistic. When you are finished, email this form to adam@adamtaylormusic.com for review. If you are chosen to audition, you will be asked to learn five songs and will travel to Lancaster, PA to perform for our current team. Thank you again, we look forward to hearing from you :)
Before you submit your questionaire, I just want to be clear on what exactly we're looking for. We're looking for ELECTRIC GUITARISTS and DRUMMERS who can commit full time to the band and making touring their priority. Artists will be working for sweat equity in the touring and merchandise companies. This means income and expenses will be split for all touring and merch. If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us and we will clarify.
NOTE: YES, I KNOW that it's a little lengthy. This is our little way of sorting out the people who have a level of interest beyond "well I guess it would be cool to be in a band". This is not a hobby for us and we want people who will take the band as seriously as we do.
