Additional booking notes

If you want an acoustic "un-plugged" worship experience we can do that. If you want a trio, we can do that "un-plugged or plugged in". We can also give you a full band experience, and an arena sound experience tracked with our band. Tell us what you want and we will make it work.

We do require a full sound system setup and a sound engineer so we can show up, plug in and play if you want a "plugged in band show"
