They only need access to a single standard outlet to hook up their sound equipment. In the event that there is no outlet, please let the Colorado Lark Duo know in advance and they will bring a battery-powered amp.
Does the Colorado Lark Duo perform outdoors?
Yes, they perform for outdoor events, weather permitting. The Colorado Lark Duo performs with custom handmade instruments and quality sound equipment that cannot be exposed to any form of precipitation. In the case of inclement weather (extreme heat, cold, precipitation, heavy winds), alternate arrangements should be made in advance to insure that an optimal musical performance can take place at your outdoor event. Depending on the weather conditions, shade, a tent shelter, or an alternate indoor performance location can provide protection from Mother Nature.
