We are Carpe Sono, a semi-professional contemporary a cappella group here in Austin, TX. We have been together for over 10 years and are currently looking for new members to round out our group for the start of the year! Our plan is to hold auditions in late January/early February
Here are a few facts about our group:
- We sing contemporary Rock/Pop/Soul Songs (U2, Rhianna, Ed Sheeran, Cold Play, Ellie Goulding, Pink Floyd, Justin Timberlake, Sara Bareilles, Alicia Keys & More!)
- Currently, our age range is from 27-40
- We’re high-energy, eclectic, focused, talented, driven, and family-friendly
- We practice 4-6 times a month
- We average 1-2 gigs a month (8-10 in December during the Caroling Season)
- Although our love of a cappella music is our primary and most important motivation, we are semi-professional – there is modest compensation to members for paid gigs.
- We are a community of musicians that have become great friends through this process
Here is what we are looking for:
- Tenor or tenor2/baritone ages 21+
- A deep passion for music and a cappella in particular
- Consistent availability for gigs and 2-hour practices once a week
- A commitment to excellence
- Someone who learns and memorizes music quickly
- Someone who’s looking to work hard to sound amazing and meet and hang out with new friends & fellow musicians
