About
Echo is a musical duo for hire in Gold Coast, QLD.
Sharon Lee and Rob Scott sing together, and the harmonies are the reason to book them. Echo work across Queensland and northern New South Wales, and the pair also perform the Olivia Newton-John tribute Hopelessly Devoted to Olivia. The songbook stretches from the 1950s to now, which is how Let Me Be There, Hotel California, Reminiscing and Dreams end up sharing a night with Riptide, Shallow and Addicted To You. It's a repertoire that suits a mixed-age crowd where nobody wants to sit through an hour of somebody else's era. They'll need power, and shelter if you've put them outside. Public liability insurance is held.
Watch
The show
Sharon and Rob have spent years in the music industry and it shows in how easily they read a crowd. The rapport with an audience is the part people notice first. Their songbook stretches from the 1950s through to now, which means a room with grandparents, parents and twenty-somethings in it all get something they recognise. The harmonies are their signature and the reason the sound holds up on the quieter material as much as the up-tempo stuff. Not a duo who play at you. They play to the room in front of them.
On the day
Two things. They need electricity, so a power point within reach of where they're playing. And if you've put them outdoors, they need shelter, because the gear can't sit in the weather. A marquee, a verandah or a covered deck all do the job. Sort both of those and there's nothing else on the list.
Performance options
Wedding packages are available and get shaped around the couple rather than sold as a fixed block. The duo can cover different parts of the day and the format shifts with each one, so a ceremony, a drinks hour and a reception don't all get the same treatment. Send through your run sheet, or a rough version of it, and the options come back built around what your day actually looks like.
