Coast was a fantastic addition to our bonfire! Everyone really enjoyed the music, and their song choices were perfect for the vibe of the evening. Stephen and Jake are both incredibly cool and talented musicians,l. They’re super cool, easy to vibe with, and made the whole experience that much better. We’d absolutely recommend Coast and would love to have them back!

What to expect
Splitting this into Event Planner side and Audience side...
Event Planner:
• Always arrives earlier than EARLY. Making sure there is ample time to comply with expected runsheet, set-up, and start times.
• Gorgeous live sound quality and mix - Steve went to mixing school and has continued refining that skill at home in his studio work.
• NO sound check required - Coast's setup is plug-in-and-go.
• Small footprint Stage and Lights! Steve and Jake each have their own micro-stage (4ftx4ft) with dynamic lights attached. It's like the tiniest big concert, and it can be set up anywhere!
• Off-grid capabilities - with help from their professional silent powerbank, Coast can perform far away from an electrical outlet for up to 10 hours!! Even with their full lights and extra speakers.
• Formal, Semi-Formal, Casual, and Beach-day outfits. Coast will always dress appropriately according to the event.
• Promotion Smarts - Coast will always do their part to draw attendees for public events and happy to contribute to a promotion strategy!
• Volume & Amplification - Most PA's loss 50% in amplitude every doubling of distance from 10m away - Coast's PA losses 25%. Meaning that VOLUME CONSISTENCY across your party is smooth - So when your guests are standing close they are listening at a comfortable volume AND when they are far away the music is still enjoyable. Technical Details: Bose L1 M2 B2, MAX 115dB at 3ft and that would carry to 85dB (considered low concert, high conversation volume) at 100ft.
• PLEASE VOICE ANY QUESTIONS, REQUESTS, or CURIOSITIES - we have answers, are adaptable, and capable.
Audience:
• Fun - The most important ingredient and, some might say, skill. Coast isn't shy, though they are gentlemen. Be ready for a friendly quip, an unexpected compliment, and casual moments of unscripted banter. Coast won't hijack your evening out or party, and also won't be a quiet wallflower - two normal guys with good energy 😄🙂
• Volume - Never too loud or too quiet, just right - with a mix like a chief's kiss 😊🎵
• Requests - The music can be completely handpicked by YOU or fully hands-off. Song requests can be made long before the event date, or in picked during our performance from our short list of ready-to-go songs (+320 song titles to choose from live).
About
• Rock, Reggae, Pop, Neo Mellow. 50's to Today - Majority 90's to 2010's.
• Encourages Live Request (400 titles) and Will LEARN songs for your Event!

Holly, Michigan born and raised. 🏝️COAST formed on a day's drive home from a beach party gig in on the shores of lake Charlevoix, MI. Steve and Jake agreed "if every gig was like this then life would be pretty much perfect" . . . . after a long pause . . . "why don't we make that happen?".
Every once in a while Steve or Jake would recruit the other for a gig they needed an additional musician for, but until that fateful drive back home Steve was making his living as a solo act and Jake as a drummer for three bands.
Now, COAST is living their dream as the bonfire-on-a-beach ambassador of music here in the mitten state.
----------
What is most often overlooked about COAST:
• Remote Power - Coast play anywhere with their professional power bank - up to 10 hours of performance off-grid.
• Micro-Stages & lighting - Jake and Steve brings their own micro-stages / Personal-sized Risers! 4ftx4ft each. With over head and backing lights! Shrinking a classic concert setup into a 12ft x 8ft area 😎
• Jake and Steve are seasoned performers! Steve was booked over 1,200 times as a solo act, and Jake over 300 across 3 bands, before the formation of COAST.
Additional booking notes
12ft wide x 8ft deep x 7.5ft high with level ground and dry area to set up in. able to squeeze into 8ft wide x 6ft deep x 7.5 high without personal risers (micro stages). one common electrical outlet, properly grounded.
**able to perform without electric outlet within 100ft if needed and told in advance - COAST has a professional silent power bank (huge battery) that can supply power for COAST's full setup for up to 8 hours.
