We are a three (sometimes 4) piece acoustic band consisting of guitar, keyboard, bass and percussion. We cover a variety of styles, from rock and country to jazz and blues. We describe our style as sexy eclectic acoustic electric, and it’s always a hit with the more sophisticated adult audiences. Because of the Bose, we are self-contained, traveling with our own sound system and taking up a relatively small space. We run 4 vocal mics and a cajon mic through a Proel mixer, along with the keyboard and acoustic guitars (run through a Zoom A2.1u DI/tuner/effects pedal). We could probably run the bass guitar through the Bose as well, but we choose to amp that separately. We’ve used the Bose indoors and out, in a wide variety of venues, and we love it. It’s perfect for our clean, pure sound. We don’t use any effects on vocals, and only some simple ones on the guitar for some songs. I’ve listened to the keyboard and lead vocal doing a song or two while I walk down the street or across the park or to the far end of the bar, and all I hear are good, clean, clear sounds.

Our lead singer and sexy bass player, Katie Christianson, plays an Ibanez acoustic electric bass with Fender flatwound strings. She loves the big voice from the big body. She also plays “Baby Blue”, a customized SX short-scale fretless electric.
She grew up singing in choral and stage productions, and fronted the big band Power Swing. Now that she’s got her own band, she picks the music and tells the boys what to play.
Joe Cooke switches off - between his Alvarez AD70SC, his Epiphone PR5-E and Katie’s Alvarez RC20SC classical (and sometimes she lets him play his Ibanez bass). His next guitar is a hot Gretsch hollow body. He runs his guitars through a Zoom A2.1u effects pedal.
Joe’s sexy lead guitar and vocals are a perfect fit for Katie’s sultry style.
Joe got a C in his high school vocal instruction class. He’s working on a song called “Now You Can Suck It, Teacher.”
Jennifer Northam takes a break from singing with Mark Brown and Gary Romjue to shake a tambourine and play with Carl’s maracas. She adds another rich layer of vocal harmony to the band. She has the added distinction of being Katie’s favorite big sister.
