Two If By Land was originally formed in the summer of 2007 as a duo acoustic act, and the two were an instant success in the restaurant/bar & grill scene as a low-key alternative to larger acts. When you see the Baton Rouge-based band perform, either softly in the background in a local restaurant or front and center at your favorite bar or venue, expect to hear a variety of classic songs tastefully arranged in a variety of ways. Come and enjoy their faithful renditions of your favorite tracks, and watch as 2 musicians do the work of a full band, each player often singing while playing several parts simultaneously!

"Got to hear lots of good music with the two stages going on, but I have to make an extra mention about one group I heard Saturday morning called “Two If By Land.”
They quickly got my attention as the first band of the day when I heard them start doing Beatles songs. I mean come on, who doesn’t love the Beatles?
I later found out that the group, made up of Shane Madere and Mike Varnado, does a variety of what they call “soft rock or classic rock,” and they play every Thursday at La Carreta’s, here in LaPlace.
Trust me, you have to check these guys out. They are really talented, just with the two of them alternating on different instruments. They are out of Baton Rouge and play lots of places. You can call them at 225-572-5430 if you are interested in a booking.
And believe me, the Beatles stuff is really, really well done."
