About
Audrey & Jake is a musical duo for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Audrey and Jake met studying music at the Conservatorium and turned it into an acoustic duo working Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. She carries the vocals, thickened with a harmony pedal on the big choruses. He plays guitar over two stomp boxes, one kick and one snare, which gives the songs a real drum pulse without a drummer. The setlist leans on classics from the 60s through to the 90s with modern pop mixed in, Fleetwood Mac and Van Morrison beside Harry Styles and Vance Joy. And they'll learn requests quickly. Sets run 45 to 50 minutes, they bring their own PA, and a playlist covers the breaks so the room never goes quiet.

The show
Audrey handles the vocals, using a harmony pedal that layers extra voices into the choruses where a song calls for it. Jake plays guitar over two stomp boxes, one kick and one snare, which puts a real drum pulse under the music without a kit in the room. Sets run 45 to 50 minutes with a 15 to 20 minute break, repeated across however long you've booked them for. During the breaks they run their own playlist through the same system, so the atmosphere carries on instead of dropping out. Expect classics from the 60s to the 90s next to modern pop.
On the day
All the sound equipment is theirs. One power outlet is the only thing they need from you, and the rest gets handled at their end. Allow half an hour to set up before they start and another half hour to pack down afterwards. If you want them playing in two spots, say a ceremony area then a reception room, factor that same half hour in for the move between them when you build your timings.
