Florence and The Gene

The act

Rich male and female harmonies give Florence and The Gene the breadth of a band within an acoustic duo. Florence Lang sings and plays bass ukulele, while Gene Phoa adds voice, acoustic guitar and percussion. Their wedding ceremony repertoire includes A Thousand Years, Thinking Out Loud, Lucky and Can't Help Falling in Love. Fresh versions of ballads stretch from Elvis Presley to Ed Sheeran, with an original song also appearing in the list. This suits a couple who want the closeness of two acoustic players without giving up layered vocals and instrumental variety.

Good to know

What to expect

Two voices that lock together properly, male and female harmony doing the heavy lifting, and enough going on underneath that it doesn't sound like two people with a guitar. The songs are timeless ballads given a fresh reading, running from Elvis through to Ed Sheeran. It's the kind of sound that fills a ceremony or a dinner without demanding the room's full attention.

On the day

If you've got a PA at the venue, they'll plug in and play on arrival, which is the simplest version. If you haven't, they carry their own: Yamaha DBR 12 inch powered speakers, an Allen and Heath ZED-10FX mixer, and a Roland Cube Street EX as a portable option. Going that route, they just need setup time and access to the venue beforehand.

Set List

Familiar songs, arranged for two voices, a guitar and a U-bass. Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, Perfect and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran, Home by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles, Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer, Ho Hey by The Lumineers and Daydream Believer by The Monkees. One of their own sits in there too, The Sweetest Smile.

Performance options

As a duo that's lead and backing vocals, guitar, U-bass and percussion, played live. It suits corporate functions, private events and wedding ceremonies, which is where most of their work comes from.
