7:30 Riders is a self-contained guitar and cello duo with amplification suitable for most indoor venues. We provide our own amps and standard performance equipment and require access to electrical power.

If a house PA system is available, we are happy to connect directly to it. We can also adjust volume and setup to accommodate different room sizes, from intimate spaces to larger event halls.

No special staging or lighting is required; a small performance area is sufficient. Setup and breakdown are quick and unobtrusive, allowing for smooth integration into event schedules.
