With John Tucker and David Gerkin, you can expect to hear easy listening, acoustic, and light electric performances of original songs and cover songs from the 60's and 70's. They put their own unique spin on each song, so you'll recognize each cover song, but you'll also notice the duo's own expressive touch.
The band can play soft enough to provide background music or loud enough to give a dynamic performance depending on the needs of the venue or event.
