Acoustic Musicians and Singers Wanted, Morris Township, NJ
Looking to schedule acoustic musicians and singers that may want to perform at a new coffeehouse style venue in Morris Plains, NJ, on Sunday nights. This gathering place is called Fusion and it is located on the Cornerstone Campus of Bethlehem Church at 73 East Hanover Ave. in Morris Plains.
see www.door2fusion.com
Beginning in Sept., the Sunday night gatherings will meet each week. That is why we are looking for additional musical artists. At the Fusion gathering, we want people to feel comfortable sharing their lives with others. To that end we find it important to create a relaxed space where people can experience quality relationships and spiritual growth. We find that music is integral in fostering an meaningful atmosphere for reaching out to those in need. We are structuring the Sunday night gathering with solo or duo musicians/singers. The musical emphasis is acoustic original and popular songs, perhaps poetry or a capella songs, with positive messages that speak to the needs of a changing generation.

At this time there is no paid compensation. However, we do have dinner available for musicians and others between the sound check and start of the gathering at 6:30p. Special dietary needs can be accommodated. Musicians will play a short set of songs followed by an opening announcements and prayer. Musicians may play additional sets of songs throughout the program. There may be oratory readings, pastoral discussions and interactive sessions between the sets. There is a time for additional music sets at the end of the program. Musicians are integral to the gathering at Fusion. The Fusion gathering is a relaxed, easy going, and very conversational space. There are comfortable couches, chairs and candles. Also there is plenty of coffee and tea on the house. The room is intimate and the capacity is about 90 to 100.
