The set list for a Stereo Stories concert is a balance between light and shade, laughter and pathos, tone and narrative. And that’s just the stories.
Then we need to balance the music: some uptempo songs, some quiet songs, a touch of rock, a bit of blues, a twang of country…
Mixed in with those considerations is the coming and going of the writers/narrators, and the need for the band to sometimes change and re-tune instruments.
All in all, we’re creating a show that’s part-theatre, part-concert. Always big on story and song.
Our back catalogue of performance stories since we started in 2014 now runs to close to 100 songs. (There are a further 750 stories on this website.)
