Double Sharp Duet

We generally arrive 1 hour prior to the start time to setup and do a quick sound check.
Should an alternative setup time be required, we can do our best to accommodate. We will minimize disruption to your event during setup.
We can work with your event planner as needed and will be professional and courteous. We kindly ask for access to an loading/unloading zone for load-in/load-out. For every 1 hour of performance, we ask for a 10-15 minute break. If the venue can provide water for us, that would be greatly appreciated.
