Relay Relay
Relay Relay packs a full band punch into a tiny duo package intertwining their own distinct sound throughout a super fun set of all bops and bangers. Curated from the greatest of Motown, nostalgic 90s, 2000s Indie Rock, to the Pop hits of today, Relay Relay keeps a crowd of all ages singing along. This husband-and-wife team has been wowing audiences with their big sound and their unique set list for over 10 years of making music together. Jamie handles the electric and acoustic guitar and layers in perfect vocal harmonies, while Hannah is the queen of multitasking, delivering a powerful lead vocal all while playing keys, synth and keeping that pocket groove with the kick and snare using electronic drum pads.
