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 for young children and their families throughout NYC and its surrounding suburbs
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 entertaining both young children (babies, toddlers and preschoolers) and their adults who accompany them to class. It's incredibly fun and rewarding, and the kids absolutely love it!
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
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!

Strong guitar skills (tight rhythm, confident strumming, very good at bar chords and good understanding of the guitar neck)
Clear, strong lead vocals
Significant live performance experience (non-negotiable)
Charismatic, engaging stage presence
Reliable, punctual, professional
Comfortable working with young children
Willing to complete background check
Bonus Skills:
Piano or drum proficiency
Teaching or early childhood experience
