Set List


Attention all you musical Roads Scholars out there! In addition to the song titles of the numbers that we play in our live shows, we've included the names of the writers (in parentheses like these) and the performers that most influenced our versions of these tunes. Sometimes the touch of Tarzan is subtle and other times it comes down like a sledge, but in all cases a tribute must be paid to the originators. If you like our sounds, you owe it to yourself to give these folks a listen too!
