Domestic Harmony is a blend of voices, of styles and genres. Solo or duo, we play tunes from the American Songbook: pop tunes from the '40s through the '80s, some more current still, and a sprinkling of tunes from other, older times. You'll hear some pop, some soft rock, some blues, some R & B (old school), some jazz, some folk, even a little reggae. Most you know and love. We write about a third of our music. We find that people quickly love those songs, too, and ask for them by name.

 

We're "almost acoustic" in that we often play acoustic guitars, some electric guitar, and hand percussion. Sometimes, we add some "machines" for additional vocals and digital drums. Always, we keep the volume under control and think about natural dynamics. People come to listen to us and to sing along, even with our originals.

 

Whatever we do, we relish the dance of voices, the twining and twinning of strings, the space between the notes, the song beyond the notes sung and played. Our songs are our own, whether written by us or borrowed from another time, another artist or band. You might hear The Beatles or Dylan. Nat King Cole or Nora Jones. Neil Young or Bonnie Raitt. Tom Petty or Leonard Cohen. The Everly Brothers or The Eagles. Even Stephen Foster!  Whatever it is, vocal harmony is the thing, with a smile and bounce to its step.

 

We commonly play restaurants, wineries, clubs, private parties, senior living communities, weddings, and other similar events.
