Jim Winder playing acoustic guitar

Solo, duo and trio

One guitar,
a small room.

The band plays the big storytelling shows. For smaller rooms I play solo, as a duo or as a trio, and we shape the evening to fit the space you have.

The flexible option

Three ways to fill the room.

Sometimes an acoustic guitar is simply right for a church coffee house. Add bass and a conga and the same songs become an unplugged ensemble. The point is that we are flexible.

Acoustic guitar and voice

Solo

Just a guitar and the songs. The right fit for a coffee house, a small chapel or a Sunday evening where the room is close and quiet.

Guitar and percussion

Duo

Add congas and hand percussion for a little more lift without raising the volume. Good for a coffee house with a full room.

Guitar, bass and congas

Trio

An unplugged acoustic ensemble with bass and conga. Still intimate, but with a fuller sound for a hall or an outdoor evening.

Coffee houses

Made for a coffee house evening.

Public coffee house venues and church run coffee houses are a joy to play, so we welcome those invitations. Two sets, a break for coffee, and songs and stories in between.

If your room holds forty people or two hundred, tell us what you have and we will bring the right size of band.

Listen first

Two songs, solo.

The Shelter of the Dunes

An original song, recorded solo.

Together

Written in April 2020 for three kinds of people: those stuck inside quarantining, those suffering with the virus, and family members struggling apart from loved ones. Pull together, pray, and get through this together.

Small room, full evening
