Introduction

We focus on interpreting modern pop, rock and adult contemporary music into an acoustic form as well as provide quirky comic music for private parties and ceremonies. I enjoy performing music that people care about. Our goal is to help create the atmosphere of the event while being sensitive to overpower it in terms of volume. Finding the right balance is a priority. Be sure to check out the sample videos in the photos and video section below: 1. Instrumental (acoustic guitar and violin) 2. Manny and Lisa 3.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Our pricing is based on the length of the performance as well as the number of band members. We offer solo, duo or trio arrangements.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

The first priority is to focus in on what the customer is looking for. We like to ascertain their likes and dislikes and will create a custom playlist that matches the vibe of the event. We can also learn new material if it’s requested specifically by the client.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Both Lisa and I have studied voice for many years. In addition, I have studied Guitar, Drums, and Bass Guitar.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Lisa and I have been singing together since we were born. We’ve both been lead singers of other bands and we wanted to merge our talents to play songs we feel passionate about.

What types of customers have you worked with?

We’ve performed at many types of events including wedding ceremonies, corporate events, holiday parties, anniversaries, birthday parties, Music festivals, and traditional music venues.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Playing an event such as a wedding ceremony or corporate event is different than playing on a traditional stage. As musicians our jobs are to help create the atmosphere for the event rather than being the ultimate focus. Lisa and I have worked extremely hard to develop that balance over the years and our customers appreciate that.
