*Calling all ladies who rock. Beyonce is in search of an all-female band to perform behind her during promo gigs for her upcoming solo album, “B’Day,” due Sept. 5.
Auditions will be held in various locations around the country to find women who play drums, keys, bass, guitar, horns (alto, tenor, sax, trumpet) and percussion. The ladies will play before Beyonce's creative team, but the singer herself will make the final selections.
Musicians should be at least 18 years and older and prepared to play her hit song, "Work It Out," as performed on the "Beyonce: Live At Wembley" DVD. In addition to having a "look," musicians auditioning for the touring ensemble must be able to play by ear (reading music is optional). Musicians auditioning must bring a headshot and resume, and be able to play a one minute (minimum) solo.
Finalists chosen at local auditions must be available to fly to New York to perform a final audition for Beyonce and her creative team the week of June 12 and must be available to begin working on the road by June 20.
Open auditions will be held Monday June 12, from noon to 9 p.m. at the following locations:
