   The Duo

The duo is great for intimate parties and small gatherings, where a mellow ambience is required to add a touch of sophistication to the event. Also great for when space and budget is tight! Ideal for music during dinner, to be followed later by the band. 

 

Lounge Lizards duo features Karen with Andy Chantry on guitar.

Karen Lake duo features Karen with talented painists such as Jez Matthews and Nick Fletcher.

   The Trio

Trios are the ideal inbetween duo and band size – with more swing than a duo but more subtle than a band. Fantastic option for medium size do's and gatherings where guests would like to gently sway and toe tap to the music (although full on grooving much easier to a band!).

 

Karen Lake trio features:

Voice/piano/bass

Voice/piano/guitar

Voice/sax/guitar

   The Band

Quartets or quintets are great for party time dancing and all manner of good times! Impress your guests with a splash of live music glamour!
