Crossroads Duo

Introducing “CROSSROADS DUO” a compact band with a big sound. Live guitar and keys are combined with 2 lead vocalists and customised high quality backings.

Crossroads Duo play all the classic hits with a wide variety (5 decades) of song choices for any situation. Available for weddings, private parties, anniversaries, sports clubs, bars & restaurants, chartered club functions, or corporate engagements.

Mike Lynch- from Huntly (Keyboard & vocals) - has played a "key" role in local bands and duos, started with classical piano, and now finds his niche in classic rock. Also handles the logistics side of the band- bookings, publicity, quotes and website/facebook duties.

Jeff Stewart- formerly from Te Kowhai, now Papamoa Beach (Guitar & vocals) - has a wealth of experience and versatility from his early days with Waikato band Lucifer, has been in the line-up of many bands since, such as Hardcast, Hitlist, and a previous duo with Mike in "Two's Company". He currently also heads the male/female duo "Lip Service", so is in high demand for his excellent guitar sound.

Combined, this duo has many years of experience in the local music scene around the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, and a classic song list of over 100 artists spanning 5 decades. You will hear accurate renditions of all the classic tracks, with Jeff's guitar work and the vocal harmony being highlights. Variety includes- classic rock, waltzes, foxtrots, latin, linedances, rock and roll, reggae, pop etc with a lean to the 70's and 80's.  

Crossroads Duo is totally reliable, friendly and efficient- "Eventfinda" listings and poster are supplied for all public gigs, and written confirmations are made by email. For all bookings a top quality P.A. system is supplied for total sound control, as well as dynamic LED stage lighting to create the mood. For weddings they go the extra mile and can customise the songlist used to your choices, plus learn your first dance song if needed.
 

Rocky Rhodes Band

Introducing "Rocky Rhodes" 4 piece LIVE band!

Drums. Bass. Guitar. Keys. Vocals. 

Formed as a live extension of the duo "Crossroads", "Rocky Rhodes" performs popular dance, classic & kiwi rock hits to appeal to all age groups. From a waltz to hard rock!
