Ballads and Blues Variety Duo from Whitney, TX

We are first composers-producers - arrangers and performers of original music in a variety of genre's. We, also, are a cover-Variety Duo performing Classic Rock, Blues, Country & Pop from the 50s - Present. Steve and Rina Allen Vocalists - Musicians - Instrumentalists and Producers Venues: Wineries – Restaurants - Weddings – Parties – Social Events - Art/Music Festivals - Colleges - City Festivals Benefits: Two or Three per year - Colleges, Retirement Centers, City Functions - Fund Raisers - Churches Atmosphere and Respect is always considered in every venue. The customer's ability to enjoy conversation at their table is our promise. Rina and I have been doing performances for 20 years and have learned to perfect clarity without too much volume. Your customers are our customers, also. Our language and attitudes will fit nicely in your establishment. We, also, socialize with your customers to establish a warm relationship. Sometimes when I'm singing a song which doesn't require Rina she will visit tables and introduce us directly. We believe this has helped in every venue to increase the impact of the atmosphere. We started in 1985 as itinerant praise and worship leaders who traveled with evangelists. We led music in revival meetings and conference-seminar type meetings for several years. After traveling for many years we decided to develop a secular act as well. We developed a repertoire of 200 songs which covered six to eight genres and since 1998 we have performed and produced our own shows. Steve plays a Yamaha Tyros II which is the top acoustic programmable keyboard today. He individually programs all the bass and drum parts and plays live the pianos, strings, guitars and special effects. Almost every song will sound exactly as it was recorded in the decade of its popularity. The duet harmonies by Steve and Rina are unique and polished. The floor space needed is minimum when considering a full band sound: approx. 10'x10'. Since all the sound is produced by the keyboard for all instruments, volume is easily controlled and held at a constant to allow clientele an enjoyable time of both music and conversation when desired. Steve and Rina will not drink or eat during a performance and will not use foul language or tell discolored jokes or make any unnecessary comments at any time. A tip jar is normally allowed in most situations and is assumed to be permitted. If placing a tip jar is not desired, we must be told before we set-up for a performance. We perform for crowds of 50 to 200. Restaurants are our favorite venue because of the variety of music that can be used.
