Given the current situation:


THE BREAKFAST SEEKS NEW KEYBOARD PLAYER/VOCALIST


After 7 ½ years without a lineup change, up and coming rock/jamband The Breakfast is seeking a new keyboard player/vocalist. Jordan Giangreco is leaving the band to pursue other interests.

“It is with deep regret that I have decided to leave my post as keyboard player for The Breakfast,” Giangreco said.  “This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made in my life.  For the past seven years I have experienced pure musical bliss that one can only dream about.  I feel fortunate and lucky to have played with three of the best musicians on the scene.  My experience with The Breakfast has been unforgettable, exciting, humbling and satisfying.”

“I would like to thank The Breakfast fans for all their support through the years, and also to thank those who devoted their time and effort on the band’s behalf,” said Giangreco.

The Breakfast will solicit demos and hold auditions in order to find a replacement.  The band will fulfill their tour schedule and commitments, as well as any and all future shows and opportunities during this transition.  Submissions can be sent to:

The Breakfast
58 Bradley Ave. 2nd Floor
Hamden, CT. 06514

Inquiries can also be e-mailed to: tim@thebreakfast.org or ronwspears@sbcglobal.net.

You should think about soliciting key players in other markets with lots of talent.  Easy enough to post a Craigslist memo in a couple other key cities.  I see plenty of great key players in the S.F. area that don\'t even have a formal band to play with, and resort to side projects at local venues.  I saw a "sick" key player last night, probably should have mentioned an opening for a great band back in CT.


Edit: Just noticed the search is broader than the New Haven area in the \'Farewell Jordan\' thread.

We are on Craigslist in several cities, also Berklee School of Music and a lot of internet boards .. I\'ve had folks from CT, Mass, Georgia, Michigan.  Moe is suggestion some folks....

The reason the band wants to do some trio dates is to make sure we finf the right person...not just sticking abyone in there because we have to.

Yeah, I wouldn\'t want to see a new addition unless he/she was really talented (and compatible with the band\'s style).

You think the Tim Palmieri show would work in tandem with another full-time guitarist?

Bring on another serving of ivories!!!

....you think we haven\'t called Stoops....lol.....

Thanks for the thoughts.  We have thought about a couple of guitarists that play very chordally, but we really want to beat the bushes for keys first.

We have some pretty good prospects to sort through.

is there anyway to send out the "help wanted" ad to either jambase.com/jambands.com??? although I have lost much respect for these sites over the years due to thier motivation$ and choice of coverage, I think it would be a good outlet to help fill the void... my .o2

it means a lot that you would suggest this, but do you know what it would do to my ego to have to play next to tim every day?  a sit in every now and again is enough.  plus i\'d have the same situation with my job which i love very much.
