August 26, 2025We hired the guys for an outdoor cottage party. Our guests loved them. They are very personable and entertaining. Lots of banter. Great music. I highly recommend!
Hired as: Classic Rock Band
Price range: Contact for rates
Languages: English, French
Gig length: 60 - 240 minutes
Insurance: $1,000,000 - We can provide general liability insurance coverage if requested but the cost would be added to our regular gig price.
We are dependable, professionally oriented and bring a wealth of experience.
We have evolved over the years from using two simple acoustics and harmonies at small private parties to now being able to provide a full-band sound with the support of some foundation tracks. We have played in a wide variety of venues for a diverse audience.
We are a duo Classic Rock band that also features other music influences like East Coast and some popular Country.
Originally hailing from the east coast of Canada, we are two Canadian Air Force veterans that have been performing as a duo in some capacity for over 30 years.
We are very adaptable to footprint sizes but generally we carry more equipment for a typical gig than what would be expected for a duo. We like to have a minimum of a 10’ x 10’ area to set up, but more space is usually better when feasible.
We use a digital board (Behringer XR16) rack featuring wireless gear for instruments, vocals and in-ear monitors. When plugging into other systems, we prefer to provide outputs from our system for furtherance from a house PA. We do have an iPad with a mixing station app for a sound tech to use if desired. This allows us to keep our wireless systems in use and also provides greater functionality than what is generally provided by house PA systems, i.e. ducking (keyed compression), etc.
We can provide basic lighting for smaller gigs and basic generator power if required for outdoor gigs although a regular single/double outlet for power from a reliable clean source is preferable.

We can provide a stage plot detailing our typical setup. For most smaller gigs, we provide can provide all required equipment.
We mainly look to have access to power and have sufficient area to set up, i.e. 10’ x 10’ space.
For larger events that provide a PA with a Sound tech, we prefer to be able to communicate with the Sound Tech/ Engineer to accurately determine what the best equipment combination is for a particular setting.
