LOS ANGELES, March 9, 2015/PRNewswire/ -- Ciara, along with her Music Director, Kim Burse, will be conducting auditions for drummer, bass player and guitarist this Friday, March 13 in Los Angeles.

The Pop and R&B singer will be announcing her U.S. tour for her new LP, "Jackie" later this month and is seeking energetic and talented musicians for her band.

Musicians will audition to two of Ciara's recordings, her #1 hit single "Goodies" from her debut album, and her current single "I Bet" from the forthcoming LP, "Jackie."

"I am so excited about this tour. It has been almost 6 years since my last tour! I believe this album is my best body of work and it's important to me that my fans have the best show experience possible. On the 'Jackie' tour fans will get a chance to know me more, jam to good music, and most importantly be entertained!  I can't wait," says Ciara.
