Awesome guitar players of the world! Due to practical reasons, our guitarist and band member Håkon Sagen is in need of a substitute for a very cool little tour in August. We have already been in touch with many great musicians we already know, but would love to also give everybody we don’t know a chance to show what you’re good for!
The period where we need a substitute guitarist is Aug 8th – 16th.
If you’re interested in playing guitar with us, please follow the directions below. Deadline is strictly set to Saturday March 11th.
Can’t wait to hear your great guitar track to our music!
