No show

I had a last minute cancellation and was in a jam to find some live music for a small event. We emailed back and forth a few times and they expressed interest in playing - then dissapeared. All I wanted was the courtesy of a response saying we cannot make it so I could pursue other musicians.

Hired as: Classical Duo

About

Kristina Lin is a 25 year classically trained pianist and 20 year violinist. She instantly gets the attention of everyone in the room from her presence alone. Throughout the years, Kristina has taught hundreds of musicians ranging from 5 to 65 years old. She loves to share her passion for music with anyone who is willing to learn. Kristina loves classical music, but is a sucker for an acoustic guitar and a sweet, soft raspy voice.

Patrick Murphy is a self-taught musical mastermind. He picked up a guitar at the age of 17, being considered a late-comer to the game. His love for guitar happened almost immediately after picking up the first time. He spent the last 25 years training his ear and playing gigs all around the country. His strong suit is finger-style acoustic, along the likes of Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins. Patrick is a sucker for 2 chord songs, quoting "simplicity breeds reliability." Another mantra of his is " A good song is not made of chords and words, it is made up of soul and feelings..."
