Though we are equipped to field our own sound in most small to medium environments, this is provided as a guide for soundguys and gals placed in the unenviable position of amplifying us!

Trust us... we'll be gentle... we've done this before.
Set the levels for our low-volume moments, and we'll back away from the mic and step off the strings as necessary. We're very good at balancing ourselves, especially if the monitors truly reflect the house mix.

Let me 'splain... no... it's too much... let me sum up... rob's guitar is mixed to the front, as it is the lead instrument and rob and Heather's vocals can be mixed pretty evenly with Rowan's vocals mixed more to the back. If the monitor mix matches the house we can balance ourselves quite effectively. Heather and Rowan's djembes are our thunderous double bass.
