Aden and Simon

A guitar cover duo, acoustic and electric blended together, playing weddings, private celebrations and corporate work. Both hold Bachelor degrees in Popular Music from the Elder Conservatorium at the University of Adelaide, with years of live performance on top of that. The duo can grow into a 3, 4 or 5 piece with keyboard, drums and extra vocalists. There's also a handpan player available for ambient moments, the sort of thing that works beautifully before the bride arrives at a ceremony. The repertoire spans four decades, from Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Counting Crows, Jack Johnson, Missy Higgins and Feist through to Prince, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Carole King, The Animals, The Eagles and The Beatles. Birthdays, anniversaries, house parties, trade shows, awards nights and charity events all suit them.

They fit into roughly 2.5m by 2.5m, with speakers positioned in front of that. The QSC sound system is theirs, speakers, mixing desk, microphones, leads and the rest. Setting up takes about an hour including the sound check, and packing down around 30 minutes. The one thing they can't do without is a power point nearby, though where there's no 240V supply they can usually hire a battery inverter to cover it, quoted separately. Ask about stage lighting, laser lights and a smoke machine if you want the extra production.
