How much space do you need?
We can work with you to make just about anything work. Typically, we need a minimum space that is 16ft wide by 10 ft deep.
Can you provide your own sound system?
Yes! We can provide sound reinforcement for venues or outdoor spaces that hold 200-300 people easily. For larger events, we can rent additional equipment or help our clients hire a sound company that can cover HUGE venues. We can also provide a speaker microphone for toasts or announcements if needed.
Can you provide your own stage and lighting?
Yes. We have worked with several different great vendors in the past and can help coordinate stage and lighting for your event.
How much power do you need?
For our typical sound system, we’d ask for 2 independent 15-amp circuits. If we need to bring in additional sound equipment or lighting, we’ll need more but we can help figure that out.
How long do you need to set up?
For our typical setup, we need approximately two hours to load in, set up and sound check. If we are setting up additional equipment, staging or lighting, we’ll need additional time.
How long can you play for?
We commonly perform for 3 or 4 hours. These performances typically consist of 2 or 3 sets of music (60 to 90 minutes long), with 10 to 15 minute breaks in between when we can provided prerecorded music. But we can work with you on your event timetable and accommodate just about anything.
Do you require a date reservation fee?
Yes. To hold a date for your event, we require a date reservation fee, usually 25 – 50% of the total performance fee.
Do you care insurance?
Absolutely! We carry a general liability policy for all live events and can provide you or your venue of choice our insurance certificate.
Will you dress up for my event?
You bet! We always want to make sure we fit your event. Everything from tuxedos, to kilts, to jeans and cowboy hats. We’ve got you covered.
Can you emcee my event?
Yes. We have two members with decades of public speaking and emcee experience.
Can you provide recorded music for my event?
For sure! If you’d like background music for various parts of your event (cocktail hour, dinner, etc.) we’d be happy to provide that for you.
What if we want something quieter for part of our event?
We can do that too! For many events, our clients like to have an acoustic duo for guest arrival or for weddings, maybe a solo acoustic guitar during the ceremony. We’ve got you covered!
Can we request special songs for our event?
Yes. We welcome requests in advance and will work with you to accommodate. We are somewhat limited because of our instrumentation so we might not be able to do that Britney song you love, but we’ll try. Or at the least, we can provide that special song for you from a recording.
Can you provide client references?
Yes, indeed. We'd be happy to get you in touch with some of our previous clients.
Can you add a bagpiper?
Yes. We've worked with several incredible pipers through the years and would be happy to help you coordinate their addition to your event.
