2nd Story Band

Setlist
Meagan Lane & Geoff de Mers, founders of 2nd Story Band, perform as a Duo or as a Trio with Afro/Latin Percussion. Their sets can be of any length (though they prefer a fewer number of longer sets) and are tailored to the particular audience and performance situation.
The songs are a blend of original compositions and remakes of cover tunes in a groove oriented and up-beat, energetic style.
2nd Story Band can adapt to any performance situation, from concert to small venue to a background of an ambient atmospheric and improvisational music to "chill".

Note: The First 2 songs below are NEW, recorded in our own home recording studio, and represent a bit of our Duo Blues Groove sound. They are followed by some World-Beat Rhythms and finish off with an original Irish Ballad (lament). More to Come later.
