Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Our favorite gig was a wedding reception at the Sun Valley Barn in Pella, Iowa. We played a larger swing dance-focused set and entertained a number of dancers through the night! The line dance formed in the middle of the set is a cherished moment of ours.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing for cocktail hours and private events!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started as a mix of students and alumni from Pella's Central College following the dissolution of Central's final vocal jazz program. Since our first gig at a Mardi Gras event in Newton, we have played for swing dances, weddings, and private events at venues including the Pella Opera House and wedding venues in the central Iowa area.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We are influenced by the bebop, swing, and smooth jazz styles. Our favorite tunes are those popularized by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours prior to a performance to set up and sound check. If we play longer than 1.5 hours, we will introduce a brief break in the middle of the set.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to play outside so long as our set-up requirements are met.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We will add requested songs if requested on a negotiated basis.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our trio has been described as relaxed and consistent. Full group performances are higher in energy and encourage dancing!
