About
Jess and Steve is a musical duo for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Piano and acoustic guitar together make a fuller sound than either does alone, and that blend is the whole idea behind this Sydney pair. Both hold music degrees and both have been performing since they were young. They rework the songs rather than copy them, using keyboard effects, original guitar instrumentals, solos and live vocals to put their own stamp on things. The songbook runs past 80 titles across several decades, from tearjerkers to floor-fillers. New requests are welcome with about a month's notice, whether that's a classic, a rock track, something from a musical or a Disney number. Ceremonies, receptions, engagements and corporate functions all covered. Public liability insurance held.
Watch
The show
Both of them hold music degrees and both have been playing since they were kids, and that shows up in the arrangements more than in anything else. Elegant vocals over keyboard and guitar together, which gives a fuller, multi-instrument sound than a single player manages. The songbook covers several decades and a lot of genres, tearjerkers included. They'll learn a request specially for your day. And they're flexible about the shape of it: strip it back to just voice and guitar, or keep it relaxed the whole way through, whichever suits. Engagements, ceremonies, receptions, private and corporate functions all work. They deal with your venue directly so you don't have to.
On the day
Shade if they're playing outdoors, and shelter if it turns wet. Keep the performance spot clear of smoking areas. On bookings of three hours or more, meals for the two of them.
Performance options
For a wedding you can take the ceremony on its own, add the canapes, or run the whole thing through to the reception. Corporate options exist as well, and if none of those shapes fits your day they'll build one that does.
