While we are well known, in Winnipeg, for our jazz standards/American Songbook repertoire, we can also play songs that are still old but newer. At least they are newer than classic jazz from the 30’s 40’s and 50’s and that is picking music from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s
As music always has a bit of a timeless feel to it there are tunes that some people remember as a pop tune that was once a jazz tune and jazz tunes that became pop tunes again.
And That’s Not All Winnipeg
To add an even more modern feel to what we’re doing, we incorporate live looping and digital drums via our Boss RC600. A state of the art six channel Loop station. In addition, adding an OC5 to the 7 string guitar gives us the feeling of a bass player so when you hire us as a duo we sound like a quartet!
Rest assured we are not cheating. We do not use backing tracks or harmonizers or any of that stuff. All the backing and looping is done live by the player an important distinction!
To be fair we are jazz musicians so our versions of these songs are on the softer side. So if you’re looking for your typical raunchy/rocking/blues/Mustang Sally/heavy/guitar solo centered/ style band, we are not that group. If you’re looking for something different with songs that people can tap their feet to, dance or sing along with, to we are your group!
We Make it Easy Winnipeg
On top of that, we have our own sound reinforcement so you do not have to have your own PA/sound System to have live music for your venue or event.
We we use a Bose L1 system two state of the art pa system. We can turn up the volume enough that everybody hears us and the people who are close are not blasted but the people in the back can still enjoy.
