We can provide our own PA and sound equipment for smaller gigs and events. This is no problem at all!
For larger events where sound equipment is provided, we have one mic'd cajon, 4 vocal mics (can do 2 or 3 as the other two singers do backup), an electric base, and a fiddle and acoustic guitar that plug into a DI.
Chocolate chip cream cheese muffins, lemon bars, snickerdoodles, zucchini bread, and other sweet guilty pleasures are what keep them going. And they put that sugar into the soul of their music. Joe's kidney's are raging just like the Sugarbeats sweet sweet souls.
