X Factory

When X Factory performs we let our music do our talking for us.
We do our best to keep the music flowing and everyone entertained with good vocal and Harmonies as well as good and tasteful guitars.
We have an extensive song list and with enough time can add requested songs to the list.
We always try and accommodate requests at shows or play something close to requests.
