About
Mckenzie & Jon is a musical duo for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Covers, but rearranged. Mckenzie & Jon are a Sydney duo who put their own spin on the songs rather than reproduce the record, which gives them somewhere to actually play. The list runs wide: Lose Yourself, Bohemian Rhapsody, Teenage Dirtbag, Come Together, Valerie, Mr Brightside, Hotel California, Bad Guy, Redbone, Wonderwall, Jolene, The Horses. Acoustic, jazzy, poppy, rock, whatever the room is. Got a song that matters to you? Ask early and they'll learn it. Their setup needs one power point and nothing else, though for bigger venues or rooms with particular sound needs they can arrange a larger PA in advance. Weddings, parties, functions, small gatherings.

The show
The songs are ones you know, but they won't sound quite like the record. Mckenzie & Jon rearrange what they cover, partly because it gives them somewhere to actually play and partly because a straight copy of the original is a bit pointless when the original exists. It means a familiar set with something to listen to in it. And if there's a song that matters to you, ask early. With a bit of notice they'll learn it, or work out an arrangement built for your event specifically.
On the day
One power point and they handle the rest. Their rig is deliberately simple. If you're in a large venue, or one with particular sound requirements, let them know when you enquire and they can organise a bigger PA or whatever else the site needs ahead of the day rather than discovering the problem on arrival.
Performance options
Small gatherings are welcome. Backyard barbecues, garden parties, a birthday celebrated from the driveway, they've said yes to all of it and will work with an odd idea if that's what your occasion needs. The standard booking covers one hour of music within the Sydney metro area, with their travel and setting up already part of it. Longer sets, or anything outside the metro area, get quoted for the event.
