Condenser mic**
*The kick drum and bass can be mixed on the lower side, as the go more for a folk sound than a big rock sound
They are a harmony-heavy band, so all four vocals should be pretty audible (lead vocal is usually Adrian and sometimes Brendan)
The violin carries a lot of the lead lines and solos in our songs. Think of it like the band’s lead guitar!
*The band have their own AKG condenser mic for singing a few songs around, blue grass style. It is placed according to the stage/room. Sometimes upstage, sometimes downstage, sometimes on the floor. It does require a mic stand.
The band comprises:
Carly on violin/BG vocals
Adrian on balalaika, bass and most lead vocals
Brendan on guitar, bass and some lead vocals
Chris or Dan on banjo/BG vocals
The band will pay for social media advertising and promotional posters at an additional cost.
