About
Phil has been playing music since 1965, and has been in many different bands over the years, playing keyboards and piano and singing leads and harmony vocals.
Dave has been playing for about 20 years, and his love of the guitar and singing lead and harmonies has presented him with a lot of opportunities to perform with other people.
We both agree on one thing…make sure we’re entertaining the crowd above everything else!! We are very agreeable to things like volume needing to be louder or softer, playing more of a specific genre, and letting our listeners leave the gig saying “I LOVED those guys!!!”
Additional booking notes
We need a minimum area of 6’ x 12’ to set up in and perform in with our small venue equipment. We will provide the instruments, microphones, speakers and amplification, along with a little lighting if needed. One hour set up time prior to the gig.
If it’s an outdoor or large venue and we need our big equipment for that, then we will need a minimum sized area of 8’ x 16’ and a total of 2 hours to set it all up.
