"What Kinda Music Do You Play?"

This is us.

We get that question a lot!

And my usual answer is, "Ask us what kind we DON'T play!"

And there are some things we don't do, or can't do. We're not a heavy metal outfit. Even hard rock is not really our thing, We don't do modern hip hop, Or what is known today as R&B. We do old-school R&B, for sure. We do some easy-listening jazz, but not free jazz, or Be-Bop. We don't do material from musicals.

This isn't us.

If it's big and loud, chances are that's not us.

What we DO DO.

Our material can be broadly described as the American Songbook. And that over a large span of time. We do folk, pop, soft rock, blues, some jazz, some reggae, and Americana. And because Jim writes a lot of material, we check the "Singer/Songwriter" box.

This is what we do.

Not specific enough?

This isn't the complete list,

And it doesn't include any of the five dozen songs Jim has written. We typically sprinkle in a few of those on any given occasion. But we hope it gives you an idea of the breadth of style of our repertoire. Imagine picking out a set or two from this list that would suit your taste,

or that of your customers.

No matter your age and taste, we bet you can!
