We are an Indie Folk Pop Rock duo comprised of Justin Sinclair and Aaron Feeney, presiding near Santa Barbara, California and playing gigs, weddings, etc. in the area. Our main influences are Mumford and Sons, The Beatles, and Jon Foreman, among many others (we feel the mix of those 3 is what we sound closest to).
Through the act, we switch instruments repeatedly, but we always both sing vocals, and Aaron always plays bass drum, while Justin plays Tambourine, each with their feet. Justin switches in the act between accordion, ukulele, piano, and guitar, while Aaron switches between guitar and ukulele, but the accordion-guitar set is the general setup.
We'll play nearly any gig you need.

We play Indie Folk Pop Rock music, and much of it Christian. We don't like to claim being a "Christian Band", but some of lyrics will include God, though we won't make that the center of the show, and are willing to play non-Christian music only if requested. We tend to make the crowd feel at home, and are not very showy, but very personal. We'll mold to whatever you want us to do and are glad to play any gig and any venue.
We'll need two vocal mics, a mic for the bass drum, a mic for the accordion, a piano or keyboard (optional), and 3 quarter inch plug-ins for two guitars and a ukulele.
Original songs:
Wicked and Weak, Broken Bones, Home, Red Clouds, Good Time, Love Never Fails (Many more to Come)
Covers:
The Scientist, You Are My Sunshine, Can't Help Falling in Love, For You Who Fear My Name, Come Thou Fount, Angel Band, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, What A Friend We Have in Jesus, The Cave, Till Kingdom Come
Anything you ask for specifically, we'll learn within days.
Generally our set consists primarily of originals, with a few covers, though it depends on how long we have. We could fill up several hours with covers if necessary (with many covers unmentioned above, though the above are our favorites and our most refined). i.e. If a wedding is in mind, we have thousands of love songs we'll play.
You tell us what you want. We'll mold to the event.
