Live From the Lounge

"Live from the lounge" is a live-stream broadcast from our lounge (see what we did there?). It started back in April 2020 and we streamed weekly for sixty weeks alternating between cover songs and originals. We did the first thirty four weeks (to November 19th) without repeating a song. That has now changed however. As the world has begun to open up and we have started performing live again the streams have become more sporadic. For details of the next event, please see our dates page.
