Duane & John Acoustic Duo
♪Smooth Loop Pedal Vibes
John on the loop pedal building rich layers under Duane's smooth vocals. These aren't standard acoustic covers — we take mainstream songs (even the upbeat ones) and reimagine them as our own slowed-down, stripped-back renditions with a flavour all our own. The perfect dinner-music / background vibe for canapés, ceremonies and intimate settings.
⚇Reimagined · Acoustic · Original
🎤Boyce Avenue–style acoustic renditions
Hine & John Acoustic Duo
♪Female Focused Soul
Similar to the boys but featuring Hine's stunning female vocals. Elegant and classy background atmosphere. This option brings a touch of glamour and warmth, ideal for champagne receptions or dining where the music needs to be present but not intrusive. We cover everything from Aretha Franklin to modern soul-pop ballads.
⚇Soulful, Intimate, Classy
🎤Female Icons, Soul, Pop Ballads
💍 Ceremony & Canapés Add-On
Booking the full band for your reception? Add Hine & John for the ceremony and canapés at a specially discounted package rate. A relaxed acoustic set under the shade while guests mingle — loop pedal, acoustic guitar and Hine's soft vocals — and we'll learn your special songs for walking down the aisle. The best-value way to have live music across your whole day.
