What happens when two great friends share a love of Soul and Motown music and a passion for performing?
Sam Tanner and Craig Alexander became best friends almost instantly, after a chance meeting in a Bournemouth recording studio. While working on vocals for a track they discussed a track list, and after one rehearsal their relentless schedule began. In their first two years together, they accomplished an astounding 400 shows.
The acoustic duo have been going strong ever since 2004, performing their favorite Soul and Motown songs for anyone who would listen, wowing audiences all over Europe with their mix of old and new classics.
Their eclectic set list, including a superb “Beat box” medley (a mash up of classic club tunes), has become legendary in itself. With a remarkable connection and razor-sharp wit they are often mistaken as brothers… people love ‘em, and they love performing together.
Whether at a corporate event, wedding, bar or club, their truly organic acoustic show makes people feel good. If you want a night to remember and party your guests will never forget, book Sam & Craig, and do it today to avoid disappointment.
