Brad is a singing guitarist/clarinetist and Susan a light percussionist. They perform popular music from the Great American Songbook as well as classic country, rock, folk and short jazz clarinet instrumentals. The largest portion of their business comes from performing concerts for seniors in a variety of locations and formats. They are affordable, professional and enjoy a lot of repeat business. Expect to be entertained but they also provide a nice musical back drop from an intimate celebratory gathering to a larger event.
Brad and Susan have performed in the greater Tucson/Green Valley area since 2014.

January 27, 2019Highly recommend this band for dinner events with light (not loud DJ type) dancing.
Great Communication: Brad answered all my questions promptly, added a requested song to the song list, requested permission to play two specific songs, competitively priced.
Great Music: Excellent music quality by three musicians, set up own equipment on time, played upon guest arrival, allowed me to use mic.
Great Reading the crowd: Kept the songs low key for the audience, took well deserved breaks when convenient for the event (not by the clock), approachable, focused the song list to the people.

January 20, 2017Right Side of the Boat was very easy to work with and thoughtful regarding helping me arrange a 80th birthday party for my mother. They were exceedingly flexible and accommodating since our time kept changing and we weren't sure of the venue until the very last few days. All of this was very helpful since we are not local and were planning this surprise party from out of town. My parents loved them, and their rendition of "Crazy" literally brought them to tears.

It was a pleasure working with you Lisa. Thank you for this lovely review. We enjoyed ourselves and especially watching your mother, Betty, who looked happy and excited during this milestone celebration! El Charro on North Oracle was an excellent choice and their staff so accommodating with set-up and offering to pay for our meal!

Gig length: 60 - 180 minutes
We begin with a few jazzy clarinet instrumentals backed by professional backing tracks to set the mood. Then out comes the acoustic guitar and I begin singing with Susan supporting me on light percussion. Each gig is slightly different depending on the makeup of the audience. We begin our musical journey with a few tunes from the American Song Book followed by country, folk and light rock oldies (50's - 70's). You can view our outstanding repertoire under SET LIST. We are mobile musicians who can set up quickly and fit into small places. Our audiences love what we do. We bring all of our own equipment for audiences up to 150.
I love music. I believe it is healing. I grew up listening to the sounds of the sixties and the Great American Song book. Dad played tenor sax in swing bands to help him thru medical school and joined TMC's Doctors Band when we moved to Tucson. I loved listening to them rehearse. I started playing clarinet/sax in grade school and performed throughout high school and college. Along the way I picked up acoustic guitar and started singing. During that time I performed in numerous musical groups including marching bands, woodwind ensembles, a swing band, folk and rock groups.
I married the girl next door. Susan is a dancer and the light percussionist with Rollin' Solands. She loves music too. When we perform we are professional and keep the chatter between songs to a minimum....unless you encourage us. We love what we do and hope you will too!
We bring everything for a small to medium size venue (up to 150). Only access to an electrical outlet is required.
