Beautiful Lakeside Jazz Concert

David (keyboard) and Curtis (tenor saxophone), who call themselves the Double Sharp Duet, gave us a wonderful evening of jazz standards and classics. Our guests all enjoyed themselves, and the backdrop of the lake and a beautiful evening sky was a perfect accompaniment to the music.

Powers Creek Wedding

Double Sharp Duet put on an amazing performance for our wedding ceremony and reception. They arrived on time, set-up and were ready to play the songs we'd picked for the ceremony. It was really perfect, just beautiful! Couldn't have asked for better music. Following the ceremony, they set up inside for the reception and our guests thoroughly loved their music during dinner and for dancing afterwards. I would highly recommend this Duet! Really two first class musicians! Thanks again for everything Double Sharp!!!
