      Having worked with many FUNDRAISER events through the years, 2MS understands many of the emotional ties the supporters and patrons experience.

     FESTIVAL & AFTER FIVE events have been a perfect match for 2MS's presentation. Developing a loyal following of "Mama's Kid's" as the 2MS fans are called, the band is draws a good crowd in the Carolina's. Their RED SUNGLASSES CD from 2009 continues to be played on the Beach Music stations as fans show up with their RED SUNGLASSES and sing along. Again, the normal presentation will provide anything from a few "unplugged" tunes, some beach, Motown, Funky 70's, Retro 80's a few of the top current hits and some Country. Blend this in with some possible "special guests" such as ZZ Topp, Boy George, The Supremes, etc and it really turns into the perfect entertainment for these types of events.

TOO MUCH SYLVIA features THREE lead vocalists that are always having fun – Eddy with his crystal clear voice to Steve’s funky, soul sound and Rick’s scratchy rock & roll, pretty much have the vocal styles covered. Their vocal blend and harmonies are, really . . . a major part of the 2MS sound. Combine all the above, with their tight, tasteful musical arrangements and Drummer Don’s rhythms, makes the groove appealing to dancers at a comfortable sound level for everyone.

Easy to work with, very accessible, by phone or e-mail and listening to their buyer’s needs, TOO MUCH SYLVIA, will always do their best to make your event the best!

RICK LEE (Keyboards and Vocals): Rick’s passion for playing and entertaining is quickly obvious. With a knack for the flow of the event, he paces the evening accordingly. Rick will be your contact and is very accessible. Understanding different needs of the buyers, he will listen to your ideas and offer suggestions. Hard to beat experience, and from his time in TOO MUCH SYLVIA and prior band, SUGARCREEK, there is plenty to draw from.

STEVE LONG (Guitar and Vocals): The edge and cut to 2MS's tight rhythm section is from Steve’s guitar. From their dinner sets to Motown, of course the 70’s & 80's and into today’s music from Nelly to Maroon 5, Steve adapts to the many styles, flawlessly. He also sings many of the funky tunes. His past, bands include, DIAMONDS, STRATUS & THE VANDALS. Steve, also plays with SUGARCREEK, on their reunion gigs.

EDDY HOWIE (Bass guitar & Vocals): The moment you hear the first note from Eddy’s high, crystal clear voice, will make you a fan and appreciative of his talent. The fun-loving antics and his charisma are not only UN-deniable but also contagious. Very solid, sounding bass groove only adds to Don’s (the drummer) infectious beat. Onstage, Eddy is the glue. He played with SUGARCREEK and also spent some time with THE FANTASTIC SHAKERS!

DON LEONARD (Drums): Don’s has that natural “feel” to keep the dancers, dancing and the listeners, grooving! Quick to flash a smile, is a genuine trait of his that rubs off on the band, the music and the crowd. You can’t help but watch, Don! He’s been with 2MS since January of 2000 and previous band stops include: CAPTAIN COOK & THE COCONUTS, THE POOR SOULS and national recording artists, THE OUTLAWS!
