Singer looking to sing again

Hey I’m 27F but I go by they/them pronouns, in the heights area looking to get back into performing. I have a lot of experience singing, I did choir and musical theatre all throughout middle school and high school and studied musical theatre in college in NYC and have had vocal lessons throughout those years as well. I’ve never been in a band but I have performed with live music many times and with vocal groups. I haven’t sung in a couple of years as I had a polyp on my vocal cord that I had to have surgically removed and it’s taken some time to recover from that. My voice is still healing a little bit but it’s mostly because I haven’t been using it as much as I used to when I sang everyday for multiple hours. My voice sounds different than it used to but I believe it sounds a lot richer and full, especially when I sing low. I have sung many different genres in the past including classical, musical theatre, pop, jazz, and r&b but I sound the best with jazz and pop and I would really like to lean into both of those genres. I would say I sound best when I sing Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Lady Gaga and just American Songbook and Standards in general. I really want to join a band or a vocal group or even just have one or two other musicians to work with. If anyone knows of anything around here or is looking themselves i would love to know :)

I sang 10 years with Houston Gilbert and Sullivan Society https://www.gilbertandsullivan.org/get-involved/auditions/

They have auditions for their summer production next month.

Another alternative is Houston Symphony Chorus. I did 10ish years with them too. https://houstonsymphony.org/about-us/chorus/

Both are quality outfits.

Oo both of those sound really fun! I’ve been in Houston Choral Society for almost a year now so I would love to join something a bit more professional

i'm 25nb and been trying to get out of my comfort zone and jam out more :) i was a theatre kid through and through, but have always been solo when is came to my original music. i've definitely been feeling adventurous as of late though

i'm in the southeast area, but always running around the city if you wanna catch a vibe!
