Upcoming Gigs

David Rovics

Seeking Singer

I'm looking for someone who sings and perhaps plays an instrument, probably female, who'd like to do shows for kids with me in the Portland area. If you'd like to participate in the logistics of booking shows in schools, libraries and festivals with me this would be a big plus. If you have the flexibility in your schedule to do frequent gigs in the area, and to travel outside of the area regularly, this would also be a big plus.

To get the idea of the kind of musical material we're talking about, go to www.davidrovics.com/kids and check out the "song chest"... I'd also love to do shows for grownups, too, with another singer, but what I'm focusing on more these days is the kids' thing.

People of color are especially encouraged to apply. (If the term "apply" is really applicable for such a nebulous job description...)

Anybody wanna organize something in your neck of the woods? Please drop me a line! And remember, I also do shows for kids!
