expressive lead guitar for hooks & atmosphere

Village Green (drums, bass, keyboards, vocals, guitar) is looking for a lead guitarist with feeling, sonic imagination, and personality. We're not just a cover band, nor are we a metal/hard rock group. We write our own songs with atmosphere, dynamics, melody, and character, as well as select covers – somewhere between art rock, alternative, prog-pop, and classic songwriting. Strong songs are more important to us than self-promotion. Our influences range from Supertramp, The Beatles, and Pink Floyd to modern atmospheric rock and alternative sounds. We're looking for a lead guitarist who: plays melodically and in service of the song, can create sounds and moods, contributes creatively rather than just copying, and is eager for a genuine collaborative project. Virtuosity is welcome – but only if it serves the music. We're not looking for constant solos or "higher, faster, heavier," but rather musical intuition, ideas, and personality. Backing vocals would be a big plus, but are not required. If you're looking for music with atmosphere, character, and a distinctive sound, and not just another generic rock band, we look forward to hearing from you. Village Green
