Solo

Guitar, harmonica and voice

Suits afternoon concerts at retirement residences, quieter pub nights and house parties.

Duo

Two musicians, fuller sound

A good fit for pubs, breweries, Legion nights and house parties: more energy, without a full band on stage.

Four-piece band

The full show

For dances, weekend crowds, Legion socials, house parties and special events where people want to get up and move.
