DUO OR BIG BAND?
Random Sass often play as a duo, but they can easily expand to create a bigger sound as a trio, or with a larger backing band.


We have our own PA for one-off gigs. For festivals we require 2 x vocal microphones with stands plus a keyboard amp.


This varies from 30s to 50s jazz and blues, to RnB, soul and randomly selected contemporary songs.
