SUMMARY:Private Eyes\, The Premier Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates
DESCRIPTION:Private Eyes\, The Premier Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates\, was formed in 2018. \nDelivering the timeless music from the best-selling duo of all time\, this Los Angeles-based band is the only Hall & Oates tribute to feature sonically accurate renditions of all the greatest hits as well as some choice fan favorites. \nAs a six to seven-piece band composed of LA’s finest players\, they pride themselves on delivering pristine vocal harmonies\, a rhythm section filled with show-stopping dynamics\, and the sexiest of sax work to weave its way through any venue. \nYou’ll feel like you’re experiencing a classic era Daryl Hall & John Oates performance as frontman Chris Hudson captures the subtle nuances and emotion of Daryl Hall’s smooth and soulful vocals. \nCo-frontman Nate Beausoleil authentically delivers the firepower of GE Smith’s guitar lines coupled with John Oates’ foundational harmony blend – a key ingredient in the legendary Hall & Oates vocal sound. \n
