Slingshots
A mix of tunes that cover a few genres all creating our soulful vibe.
Slingshots is a group that formed in 2020. Jeremy, Chris, Steve and Dave became friends through poker games, family hangs and backyard bbq’s. During the pandemic they honed their sound with outdoor rehearsals and have continued to gel and perform. The group shares a love for many styles of music and has focused on a groovy collection of covers that span the likes of funk, jazz, latin and soul. Listen closely, you might hear a popular song with a slightly different feel or vibe. Mostly instrumental, they also may be seen with a powerhouse vocalist Sam Bunting adding another layer to the group’s repertoire.
