and sound like there are more people on stage then there actually are, these two music surgeons strive to create perfect harmony and it’s their ability to do so that makes all the difference in their performance. The String Doctors have mastered the concept that less

mission is to inspire their audiences with spectacular musicianship, great vocals and witty repartee and to leave the world a better place because of it. If you want a memorable night out with exquisite music


make an appointment to see the String Doctors. Two guys. Two guitars. One extraordinary sound. The String Doctors play at The Orana Hotel on Sunday, May 27 from 3pm.
