Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We travel as a 7-piece (two guitars, keys, bass, drums, percussion, and everyone sings!), and we can add on horns if need be!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We try to be as flexible as possible, usually some lead team can allow us to find a substitute, but we try to lock in our dates as best we can.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We have several playlists that work for interstitial time, or if you have music you'd like, it's easy for us to throw it on.

How much time do you need to set up?

We typically require 2 hours in the space prior to when guests arrive in order to be set up, soundchecked, and cleaned up.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We like to be in one place, especially with drums and keys, they're anchored pretty solidly in place.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We would be happy to have you help choose which songs from our repertoire you'd like us to play, but based on our years of performing these tunes, we put them in the right order to make sure it's the best possible event. We definitely work with you to make it great!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA is included with our rental fee.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We usually offer a handful of requests, it all really depends on how difficult the songs are to learn. We can discuss it and make sure everyone will be on the same page. That being said, we're game for just about anything!
