Karen with Don  create the
great sounds of Silk & Steel 

 

 

 

 

Silk & Steel is a breath of fresh air for lovers of live musical entertainment.  When Karen Cooper and Don Adamczyk, (Silk & Steel), entertain at your party or club, you'll have all the right music, all the right sound, and the added visual dimension of a live performance to keep your guests thoroughly entertained, without breaking your entertainment budget. 

Silk & Steel presents an outstanding live entertainment choice for intimate weddings, anniversary parties, birthday parties, corporate functions, picnics, pool parties, holiday parties, country clubs, night clubs and fine dining establishments. There's nothing like live music!

Imagine for a moment, the formula for a totally new concept in live music:

    Step One: acquire professional entertainment and performance skills by performing in a variety of venues, for over three decades;

    Step Two: build a state-of-the-art digital recording studio, acquire some serious recording microphones, sixteen vintage guitars, a 1950s Hammond organ, some MIDI keyboards, drum simulators, vocal processors and sound mixers. Then pick up a top notch PA system for live performance;

    Step Three: carefully select a timeless repertoire of meaningful music, then record the background parts into a digital music format;

Step Four: perform the repertoire live, singing and playing the vocal and guitar parts in real time, along with the background parts that you've meticulously prerecorded.

Concept Advantages:

Greater Volume Control: Live bands are often too loud for smaller rooms.
They need to cover the sound of live drums. Working with recorded drums gives unlimited control over volume - from a whisper to a roar!

Less Demand on Floor Space: All the sound of a full band ... in the space
of a grand piano!

Greater Instrumental Variety: From vintage organs to tubular bells
to “Tango Accordions” - all the right sounds for the music!

Dining, Listening ...and Dancing Too! From a quiet "dinner set," to
blistering dance sets, Karen and Don produce all the dynamic range your patrons demand!
