A B o u t
Monsterboy is a break out music project based out of Little Rock, Arkansas. A husband and wife team, the couple have shared their love of music with audiences large and small over the last few years. Building a reputation for offering uniquely inspiring and captivating entertainment for all ages.
The duo's unplugged style set is an acoustic coffeehouse meets Postmondern Jukebox. The pairing of acoustic guitar and vocals with the handsome tone of a baritone saxophone, the couple brings a refreshing take on a familiar sound. Playing this gentle giant of the saxophone world often like a cello takes their collection of top 40s pop/classic covers in intriguing directions.
Monsterboy's electric sets highlight the multi-instrumental skills of both artists along with including synced video programming inspired by music festivals. Traditional and tribal instrumentations blend with EDM and pop elements to take audiences on a journey of musical exploration.
Monsterboy has played various events and festivals across Arkansas in 2019, and receiving plays on KABF, NPR, 100.3 the Edge, Shindig music, and Shoog Radio. The couple started their career with an interview by MTV.com and enjoy a working relationship with Good Morning Arkansas. They will be added to the Arts on Tour Roster, which is through the Arkansas Arts Council, in the summer of 2020. Along with being an active member of the AFEA and founding members of the international non-profit music community - Musician Cell Groups.
