What is a Side By Side show?

Unlike most shows where each artist performs a set, the three of us will be on stage together at the same time and taking turns sharing our songs and some of the stories behind them. This often leads to some pretty magical and deeply connected moments where we will play along with each other, some singalongs with the audience and the show can go in any direction at anytime based on 'the vibe'.

That's it really. CONNECTION, VIBE and IMPROMPTU. The way live music should be.

HERE'S A BIT MORE ABOUT EACH OF US
