Access to (clean) electricity. A level stage. Ideally cover from the elements if outside.
We're happy to contact venue to get info we need.
If your budget allows, we're more than happy to provide sound equipment and a basic lighting rig.
Absolutely! We're also more than happy to make announcements as needed.
We were lucky enough to be selected to perform at one of the last SVRA gatherings at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Playing on a huge stage right in front of the pagoda after watching vintage race cars race was a blast!
Any gig where there's music fans and room to dance is our favorite kinda event.
We've been influenced by Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash, Otis Blackwell, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Louis Jordan, Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and this obscure band from England called "The Beatles". Greatest song? Way too many to name...
Our sweet spot is 2 x 60-75s but we can play 3 x 60s depending.
We're okay performing outside if there is some form of at least semi-permanent coverage to protect from inclement weather. (Please note the inclement weather clause in our performance agreement)
With enough warning we could learn special requests however it is primarily a hand curated best of set list of classic 1950's rock-n-roll
