Yes, we have our own sound and lighting.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

The best gig was the Washington State Fair. Traveling is an absolute blast for us because we get to just hangout as a family in addition to doing what we love to do which is play music and entertain.
The best venue was Cache Creek Casino & Resort. Incredible stage, great sound team with top of the line gear and first class treatment.

Festivals are the favorite event. Why? Because if people are willing stand or sit out in the elements to listen to you for 2 or 3 hours without leaving, that they like what you're doing. That's an awesome feeling.

Everyone in the band had many years of experience before we came together. When the band was started, there was a business plan that advised everyone how we were going to proceed. Until the show was flawless top to bottom, to include stage presence, attire and choreography, we were not going to do a show. Because of our patience, we are work corporate, festival, private parties and fairs from May to December.

James Brown and Otis Redding: The energy from start to finish, the non-stop music, the look of their respective bands, and how tight their shows were. They have a major influence on how I personally perform and how I put this band together. My favorite artist is the late great Al Jarreau. Yes, he's a jazz guy, but his talent was incredible. My favorite song is whatever song I'm performing at that moment.

We typically arrive 90 minutes before sound check, and our performance times are 2 set minimum and 3 set maximum. The configuration of the sets (45 versus 60), is to be determined by us and the client.

Absolutely as long as there is a stage, and in the event of major heat, the stage is covered.

We are flexible on that front. We have a set show, but we can (if time permits) take on request by the client.

Previous clients say our shows are engaging, exciting, make them reminisce, and are so filled with energy they can't help but dance.
