GIGS
Our jammin' and improvisational World Beat Blend of funky Blues & Swing, Caribbean and Jazzy musical stylings ... we call our music World Beat Blues... appeals to a broad range of audiences.
2nd Story Band performs generally as a Duo (or as a trio with an Afro/Latin percussionist). Meagan has a smoky, expressive vocal style and Geoff's vocal harmonies and leads are a great complement to the sound. Meagan plays an acoustic bass guitar providing melodic and propulsive rhythm and also kalimba (African thumb piano). Geoff plays acoustic rhythm and lead guitar and flute, slide guitar, harmonica and mandolin and adds guitar synthesizer samples simulating instruments like Caribbean steel drums (pan), Andean flutes and piano adding spice to the flavors in the mix.
