STEVE VAI Holding Open Auditions This Week

April 30, 2007

Steve Vai has scheduled a tour of Europe for this June-July and the USA in September-October. Vai is putting a new band together and in addition to private invite-only auditions, Steve will be holding open auditions on May 2 and May 3 from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in Los Angeles.

At this time Steve is looking for:

* An amazing bass player.
* A monstrous electric violin player that can double on either keyboards, guitar or a horn of sorts.

Steve isn't necessarily looking for a virtuoso keyboard player, but is looking for exceptional violin and bass players. Vai is also not opposed to hearing anyone that has an extraordinary talent on any instrument.

The music for the tour will be a selection of stuff from Steve's catalog. Some of the music is very simple and some of it very challenging. The main quality needed is confidence.

If you are a bass player or violin player and are interested, visit the open auditions page for more information.
