Why a Duo Works for Venues in Carmel and Westfield

Volume that keeps conversation going

Guests can hear the music and still talk across the table, so they settle in and stay.

Small footprint

About 8 by 8 feet is all we need, so we fit a corner, a patio, or a spot by the bar without giving up tables.

Our own sound

We bring our own PA, microphones, and cables, and handle setup and breakdown. There's nothing for your staff to arrange.

Reliable

We've never missed a performance. We show up on time, ready to play, and we're easy to reach when you're planning your calendar.

Planning details

What We Need From You

Space

An area about 8 by 8 feet on a flat surface, indoors or on a patio.

Power

Power within reach of where we'll play.

Setup time

About an hour to set up and sound check. We'll agree on an arrival time with you.

Outdoors

Shade if we're playing outside in summer.

Questions

Questions From Hamilton County Venue Owners

How loud are you?

Loud enough to hear, quiet enough to talk over. We're an acoustic duo, and we'll adjust the volume whenever you or your staff ask.

Can you play on our patio?

Yes. We play indoors and out. Outside in summer, we'll need some shade and power within reach.

Do you take regular dates?

Yes. Whether you want us once or on a regular schedule, send us the dates you have in mind and we'll confirm what we can do.

How long do you play?

2 to 3 hours, in sets with short breaks. We can fit the schedule to your busiest hours.

How do you price a booking?

We quote each booking based on the length of the performance, the day, and travel. Venues in Fishers, Zionsville, and nearby towns are close to home for us. Send us your dates and we'll reply within 24 hours with a quote.

What if you have to cancel?

We've never missed a performance. If a true emergency ever came up, we'd let you know right away and work to find a solution, including connecting you with musicians we trust.
