We're thrilled to announce that we have a new bass. Bakari Holmes comes to us with many years of vocal jazz a cappella experience. It's fantastic to be a full group again!
...who can sound like an upright jazz instrument on some tunes and handle pure low tones on others. Our arrangements are a mixture of jazz, Latin and funk. If you like crunchy chords and have experience walking bass lines, please reach out to roshambosings@yahoo.com for details about auditioning. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights in Oakland and San Francisco. We won the Bay Area Regional Harmony Sweeps in 2013 and are dedicated musicians who know how to have fun. Do you have what it takes to be our next bass?
We are thrilled to announce that we have found a new fabulous tenor in Jimmy Kraft! Many thanks to Ro's former alto Lilan Kane for the referral. Now all we need is an equally fabulous bass. If you are one or know of one, please message us for audition details. Thanks!
