In a blaze of blues, rock and soul, married couple and music partners Annika Chambers and Paul DesLauriers are a force to be reckoned with. Between Paul’s award-winning, gritty blues guitar work and Annika’s soaring, gospel-grown voice, their anthems burn as fiercely as their real-life chemistry.

U2-2U is the premiere U2 tribute with decades of live performance and touring experience.
