The band is swift at setting up and tearing down. There is very little that you need to provide us aside from nearby power ports. The group size can vary from a piano trio to a quintet. We will show up, set up, play, and then tear down, allowing you to focus on your party/event! Let us know if you would like anything for the performance (breaks, set lengths, volume/vibe).
