Typical Performance Configurations
We offer several performance options depending on your event, venue, and budget.
OPTION 1: CLIFF & SUSAN DUO
Our most popular configuration. Cliff & Susan perform on fiddle, guitar, and keys with two lead vocalists, harmonies, and electronic percussion to create a surprisingly full sound with a small footprint. The duo can move seamlessly from cocktail or dinner music into a high-energy, interactive show that fills the dance floor. Volume is completely controllable, making this configuration ideal for everything from intimate events to larger venues.
OPTION 2: CLIFF & SUSAN TRIO TO 5-PIECE BAND
For larger stages and events, Cliff & Susan can expand the show by adding live musicians. A drummer is typically the first addition, with bass guitar, steel guitar, and other instrumentation available depending on the event and desired production. This configuration delivers the full Cliff & Susan experience with the added energy and impact of a live band.

TESTIMONIALS
“Omg, we saw Cliff & Susan open for ZZ Top in Little Rock, Arkansas. Had never heard of them. I have seen Grammy winners that aren’t as good as Cliff & Susan are live! Their energy, their positivity, their whole vibe was joyous. I’m such a jerk-of-a-music-critic, and they totally blew me away and left the stage with me SMILING after their set.
I wanted to see them for another hour! At one point, she played piano WITH HER BOOTS, and he broke out a fiddle and tore the roof off with DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA. Someone needs to sign them quick. They are SUPERB!” - Chuck K.
