The project

We started with
the obvious part.

We're both guitar players. We both sing. It seemed wasteful not to start there.

Matt comes from writing songs and fronting bands. Sean comes from instrumental records, teaching, and getting lost in the details of an arrangement. We meet in the middle with covers we actually like and a few originals.

If a show needs drums, we add a drummer. If it needs to stay small, we leave it alone.

The same songbook / several lineups

Start with two.
Add what the gig needs.

You do not need to choose a lineup before you contact us. Tell us about the room, the crowd, and how the music fits into the day. We will tell you what we would book.

01 / Two guitars / shared vocals

Duo

Sean Ashe and Matt Hopper performing together with guitars and vocals.

Sean, Matt, two guitars, and two voices. Small enough for dinner, but not background music unless that is what the hour calls for.

02 / The duo / with drums

Trio

Add a drummer and the same songs move differently. This is often enough band for a reception, patio, or party.

03 / Bass + drums / more room

Full band

Bass and drums give the set somewhere to go when the room is bigger or the second half should get louder.

04 / A guest / for a reason

Expanded

Ashe Hopper performing with drums and invited guest musicians.

Another singer or player can make one show its own thing. We do this when the music calls for it, not to pad the stage.

The whole working repertoire / 31 songs

Here is the whole list.

Thirty-one songs: covers we still want to play, a few of Sean's originals, and no mystery "sample repertoire" hiding the rest. We add songs, lose interest in others, and keep this page current.
