What to Expect
We are professional, punctual, and easy to work with. We prefer an acoustic piano, but are equipped with an electric piano we can bring. We have a small PA for amplification and are self-contained. Our requirements are few and our time to set up and tear down is minimal.
About

The inspiring and gorgeous compositions, presented by two very personable performers, are ultimately unforgettable… as they will play in your mind long after the listening ends.

Influences & Inspiration
Classical, Celtic, and New Age influences form our sound. Laurie is a classical violinist and flutist, and PJ is a New Age pianist and acoustic guitarist.
From Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Vivaldi to Yanni, Loreena McKennitt, Jim Brickman and George Winston...all were influential. But most of the duo's music is original and fluid, tapping into the spiritual ethos of timeless melodies.
We are versatile musicians, always looking for new music and new settings in which to share our music. We will work with you to tailor the music for your special event.
Setup Requirements
We can provide a Casio Privia electric piano and two small PAs suitable for most small venues.
