Small Horse | Acoustic Duo & Party Band Europe

Small Horse and The Plan

Small Horse & The Plan produce a larger sound than you may first suspect for a duo, with Dan’s guitar style building on a unique sense of rhythm created by the percussive sounds of his stomp box and foot tambourine. This provides a rich backdrop to Mari’s characterful, attention-grabbing vocal and is often combined with her ukulele, harmony pedal or hand percussion to increase the duo’s soundscape once again.

Dan and Mari have years of combined experience in professional music, having performed in different line-ups at various venues, events and festivals. Their broad and growing repertoire (from Gloria Gaynor to Green Day and beyond), delivered through strong musicianship with a dash of fun, has garnered them a growing reputation as a must-have act to keep audiences singing and dancing all night!

This multi-instrumental duo place captivating female vocals and rhythmical guitar into a classic and contemporary set – along with a few songs you may have forgotten you loved! Adding into the mix percussion and a ukulele, Small Horse & The Plan take on both a modern and vintage vibe that will leave you smiling!

Small Horse & The Plan produisent un son bien plus riche que ce que l’on pourrait attendre d’un duo. Avec le style de guitare de Dan, qui s’appuie sur le rythme unique de son stomp box et de son tambourin de pied, ils créent une base sonore riche. Cela se marie parfaitement avec la voix captivante et distinctive de Mari, souvent accompagnée de son ukulélé, d’un pédalier d’harmonies ou de percussions à main pour élargir encore plus leur paysage sonore.

Dan et Mari possèdent des années d’expérience combinée dans la musique professionnelle, ayant joué dans diverses formations à travers des lieux, événements et festivals variés. Leur répertoire large et en constante évolution, allant de Gloria Gaynor à Green Day et au-delà, est livré avec un fort sens de la musique et une touche de plaisir, leur valant une réputation grandissante en tant que groupe incontournable pour faire chanter et danser le public toute la nuit !

Ce duo multi-instrumentiste associe des voix féminines captivantes et une guitare rythmique dans un set classique et contemporain – avec quelques chansons que vous aviez peut-être oubliées que vous aimiez ! En ajoutant percussions et ukulélé à l’ensemble, Small Horse & The Plan offrent une ambiance à la fois moderne et rétro qui vous laissera avec le sourire !
