The NY Troubadours

If guests would like to be able to hear each other as well as the band, The NY Troubadours provide a kinder, gentler alternative to loud and frenetic party music. We can sound like Simon and Garfunkel or the Stones, or Coldplay, and our personalities are friendly and mellow. Songs range from 1920s and 30s jazz to Elvis to current indie pop, with lots of classics of the 60s and 70s. Twin lead singers Sam and Nick have a fabulous vocal blend. The drummer generally plays cajon (box brum), resulting in a small footprint and very a portable band, comfortable in intimate parties, outdoor settings, and just about any imaginable venue. We are appreciated by audiences of all ages, and clients are welcome to request their favorite songs.

The NY Troubadours center around identical twin lead singer/instrumentalists, Sam and Nick Kline, who started out singing with their cantor mom, Cathy Lawrence, in various synagogue settings. Impressed with their talent and fabulous blend, Cantor Lawrence encouraged them to put together a group to play for events, and sparked in them a fondness for music of the 60s and 70s. They teamed up with lead guitarist Steve Gregoire and percussionist Josh Azenberg (currently on national tour with Fiddler on the Roof) and their repertoire branched out in all directions. They have not really advertized, and so are relatively unknown, but just wait...

We are a very low footprint group, requiring about 12' X 6' for the quartet, less for the trio. We have a sound system that is adequate for approximately 300 guests. We can perform outdoors with or without amplification.
