“They invite you in to a beautifully safe and connected space where you can rest your bones, ease your mind, and heal your heart.
That’s the power of Story & Tune.”
Recipe for a Story & Tune show:
a dollop of Johnny & June
a dash of The Civil Wars
your daily dose of harmony
a pinch of improv
a few cups of laughter
real talk about trauma
one or two cheeky tears
stir in a few sing-alongs
share with a friend
Our standard live shows feature Ben on keys/vocals and Karyn on vocals/dance captain magic, accompanied by custom produced beats and backing tracks.
If you’d prefer a trio or full band, just let us know - we have excellent bonus bandmates standing by!

"Precious few shows are fun for both me and my 16-year-old daughter, but we had a blast together with Story & Tune. Karyn and Ben have such an infectious enthusiasm that you can’t help being drawn in!"
