Do we set up on a platform, stage, or the floor? What is the best door or entrance to bring in our equipment?

Do you prefer we use our PA or yours?

Best gig was at the Rendezvous Restaurant and the best venue was the Windsor Gardens Auditorium.

A space that has a good-sized dance floor for people to move around.

All of us have been in bands at different times around the country. We came together about a year ago and have been honing our style and sound to get to where we are today. We really like the variety of songs we share.

Each of our members has a unique perspective on this topic. We are all of an age where the 50s, 60s, and 70s really had an impact.

If we have played a venue before, we usually arrive at least an hour before the gig starts. For a new venue, we try to begin setting up about an hour and a half before the gig. Our normal set times are 50 minutes with a 10-minute break.

Outside gigs can be fun, especially if there is a cover above us to keep the sun from our eyes so we can see the crowd. It is also nice to help get equipment torn down if it begins to rain. Outdoor crowds sometimes have more energy.

Mostly it is a set repertoire for the type of gig. If there are some special songs the client would like to hear, we will try to accommodate them, if we know the songs enough ahead of time.

Clients tell us they appreciate our song list and how we interact with the crowd. Our mix of songs can address dance styles from line dancing to tangos.

We enjoy both. If people just like to sit and listen to the songs we play that is wonderful. However, there is a lot of energy when people get up and dance to the music we play.
