Musical Performances
We currently offer eight different shows:
* Buddy Holly Tribute I & II
* Shania Twain Tribute
* Johnny & June Tribute (Johnny Cash)
* Sonny & Cher Tribute
* Country Classics
* Golden Oldies Show
* Holiday Classics
Each show runs about 90 minutes, but we can tailor the length of the performance to suit your schedule.
(Why two Buddy Holly shows? We know so many of his songs, we couldn't fit them all in one performance. We received many requests for additional songs, so we created the Buddy Holly Tribute II.)
We don't have a band; we both sing, using backing tracks for many of the songs, with Rob playing live guitar, and also play quite a few with no backing tracks -- just the live guitar and singing. For many songs we both play guitar, or a combination of guitar and banjo. There's also a bit of humor in every show.
Our goal is to celebrate the music itself -- "Dressing the part" helps to make the show more entertaining, but we aren't impersonators. A lot of research has gone into the tributes: In addition to performing the music, we provide interesting information about the artists themselves: their lives, music, and careers.
Lindy hop dance demonstrations are a part of all of our shows. We generally dance three times during a show.
We dress up the show with stage props that help set the mood for each show: Oversized 45s, a Wurlitzer jukebox standup, posters, etc. (As venue permits: Outdoor concerts may be too windy, for example!)
Audience members are always encouraged to dance. As long as there is room, we love it when couples get up to dance during the show.
Weddings and other large catered parties
We can appear as a special highlight to the evening's festivities by doing a Lindy hop dance demo or by jumping up to do one or two songs (Buddy Holly, etc.) while the band is on break, or as can be conveniently arranged with the DJ. Generally we do this kind of thing right before the DJ/band officially opens up the dance floor. It's a great way to get the party started, and to make your party or wedding even more memorable.
We usually don't charge for cameo appearancs like this. We're happy to do it just for the fun of it.
If there's anything else you can think of that you'd like done, run it by us. We're yours for the duration of the party.
At 50s themed parties, we can also bring Hula hoops along for a contest or just for fun.
Classic Car Shows, Festivals, Street Fairs
Here are some ideas for large outdoor gatherings:
