Double Down Time
Sun1Nov

Double Down Time

Live Music

Double Down Time is a blues-based stripped down and “raw” trio that performs their original music and a sprinkle of blues covers. With Julia JD on harmonica and keys, David on guitar and slide and Ms. Lisa on percussion, they “double down” on toe-tapping rhythms, memorable melodies and vocals that showcase textured harmonies. This trio nerds out on the love of breaking down music to its core, mixing things up and then bringing every note back to new life. We embrace minimal acoustic instrumentation and arrangements, and strive for soulful, energetic vocal harmonies and improvisation. We think of songs as storytelling primarily. With all that’s transpired we are excited about so many new stories to tell through music. We bring new interpretations to the music that we cover, and craft new stories in the tunes we write ourselves, to form soundbites we describe as authentic, inspiring, down-homey rockin’ bluesy fun!
