Double Malt Duo

Description

SOLO
I am available as a vocalist who can accompany herself with acoustic guitar, I also play tenor saxophone along to full backing tracks which creates quite a versatile act. I have previously been hired to perform at weddings and corportate events quite often as the saxophone provides fantastic background music and then sing along hits from my 250 song list on guitar and vocals for later in the evening. I have worked in various parts of the world in restaurants, bars, hotels and currently working as part of an acoustic duo in the Carribbean on Windstar Luxury Yachts.
DUO
Established in ... particularly unique circumstances, the Double Malt Duo has developed into an equally unique musical experience.
Built on the foundations of dual vocals and dual guitars, the occasional switch to piano or saxophone helps to colour their set with a touch of class that lifts them above the run of the mill.
Acoustic
Playing a staple mix of acoustic pop, rock, folk, country, and the odd jazz standard or classic soul number, Double Malt have something for everyone. A typical evening might encompass covers of the following for example; Michael Jackson, the Foo Fighters, Cyndi Lauper, Fleetwood Mac, Eva Cassidy, Cat Stevens, Jessie J, Tracy Chapman, and Bob Marley. Or perhaps a mellower evening of Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Ed Sheeran, Christy Moore, Nina Simone, followed by some saxophone and piano late night jazz. With a repertoire of over 300 songs, they certainly have plenty to choose from.
Electric
If your event requires a livelier party atmosphere then we’ve got you covered there too. With the switch of one acoustic guitar to electric guitar, and the addition of high quality customised backing tracks we are ready to get the dancefloor moving. Perhaps a set of 80s floor fillers from Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie, and George Michael? Or a slightly more classic vibe with hits from Elvis, Chubby Checker, Frankie Valli, the Beatles, Chuck Berry and a bit of Motown? We can also bring things more up to date, or take things in a slightly rockier direction – just let us know, we’re happy to tailor our sets to suit what you’re looking for.
