Professional Guitarist/Singer (NYC) - Kids Concerts & Classes - $60-$100/hr
Job Title:
Professional Guitarist/Singer – Lead Kids Concerts, Birthdays, Music Classes (NYC and Beyond) – $60+/hr
Company:
Ramblin’ Dan’s Freewheelin’ Band
New York City (Multiple Locations)
Location:
We're looking to hire one person for New York City.
And We're also looking to hire someone to serve the surrounding suburbs - especially Westchester and Fairfield Counties.
Description
Love performing and want consistent, well-paid daytime work as a musician?
Ramblin’ Dan’s Freewheelin’ Band is seeking professional guitarists who sing lead vocals to perform high-energy music classes, concerts, and events for young children and their families.
This is not a traditional teaching job. It is a performance-based role. Think front person energy, strong rhythm guitar, and real crowd engagement.
You’ll be performing for both young children (babies, toddlers, and preschoolers) and their caregivers or parents. It’s incredibly fun and rewarding, and for many of our bandleaders, this role has helped them transition into full-time musicians.
About the Role
- Lead 45-minute high-energy music classes and birthday parties
- Perform for children ages 0–4 with caregivers present
- Blend classic kids songs with family-friendly rock/pop
- Daytime hours only
- Consistent weekly schedule available for classes.
- Accept or decline Birthday bookings based on your weekend availability, but we do have a lot of weekend work available for birthdays right now.
We are a team of full-time musicians, Broadway performers, and working artists. This role is designed to support your creative life outside the job.
Compensation
- Starting at $60+/hour
- $1,000+/week possible within a few months of training
- All daytime work – evenings always free for other gigs!
What We’re Looking For
Required:
- Strong guitar skills (tight rhythm, confident strumming, strong command of bar chords and the fretboard)
- Clear, strong lead vocals
- Significant live performance experience (non-negotiable)
- Charismatic, engaging stage presence
- Reliable, punctual, professional
- Comfortable working with young children. Prior experience is a plus, but not required — we will train the right musician.
- Willing to complete background check
Bonus Skills:
- Piano or drum proficiency
- Teaching or early childhood experience
How to Apply - (Applications without a video will not be considered)
Please read carefully.
To be considered, you must include:
- A brief cover letter
- A direct link to a video of you singing and playing guitar simultaneously.
Video Guidelines:
- Acoustic guitar preferred
- High energy
- Clear vocals
- Rhythm-driven strumming
- No need for studio production — just show us your performance style
Here is an example of what can video I'd like to see (simple, you, guitar and camera)
Pick a high energy adult song you know inside and out. Have fun. Let your personality come through. Please do not send a kids song. I'd like to see rock out with your musicianship on display.
Interested?
Send your video link and brief cover letter to: [email protected]
Qualified applicants will be contacted quickly to schedule an audition.
Thanks,
Dan
