[UNDERSTUDY FOR LILA]
Late 20s. Female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Queer. White. Guitar - plays a range of rock and pop styles with proficiency. Epic rock or pop voice. Frontwoman of a band, lead vocal chops. From a working-class background in a small town in Kentucky.
[UNDERSTUDY FOR AMY]
Late 20s–30s. Female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Queer. Black. Guitar - plays a range of rock and pop styles with proficiency. Rich and powerful voice, comfortable in rock, soul, blues and country styles. Confident and comfortable in herself and her sexuality, but struggles to fully let her guard down.
[UNDERSTUDY FOR JJ]
20s. Female (cis, transgender, or non-binary). AAPI. Keyboard, harmonica, and basic percussion - plays a range of rock and pop styles with proficiency. Higher vocal range than Lila/Amy but not of the traditional “legit soprano.” Think the person on the top part of The Chicks or Highwomen harmony splits. Also from this small Kentucky town— Young, vibrant, and unabashedly herself.
[UNDERSTUDY FOR PAUL]
50s. Male (cis, transgender, or non-binary). Black. Drums - plays a range of rock and pop styles with proficiency. Strong singer, solid on harmonies. Lila’s friend and Amy’s former stepfather. Funny. Paternal, particularly to Amy. He has lived and toured as a musician in all kinds of groups, and has seen a lot of the country.
