The act
Twelve string and slide guitar beneath smoky vocals give Frankie and Savva a particularly earthy acoustic sound. The Adelaide duo plays blues infused originals as well as its own versions of older songs. Ruth Brown, Muddy Waters, Albert King and Nina Simone are among the artists represented in the covers. Original material leans into older swing and boogie styles, giving a wedding set another route towards movement and a lively late night mood. This suits a couple who want acoustic music with blues grit, distinctive guitar work and a playful vocal edge.

Good to know
What to expect
Twelve string and slide guitar, played by one of Adelaide's better blues guitarists, with vocals that carry a bit of smoke and a good deal of sass. The set moves between blues infused originals and covers reworked rather than reproduced. It's a duo, so there's space in the sound, and the songs get room to breathe.
On the day
They can bring their own PA, mics and stands, and they're happy to run their own sound if that helps you. They bring their own seats and stools too, so there's nothing to chase up on the day.
Set List
Covers come from the blues catalogue proper: Ruth Brown, Jimmy Reed, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, Albert King and Nina Simone among others. Sitting alongside those are their own songs, written in an old school swing and boogie style, and there are plenty of them. The originals are the ones that get feet going.
Performance options
Booking length is the main choice here. The shortest option is two sets of 45 minutes. Add a third 45 and you've got a longer night, and there's a version on top of that with three 45s followed by a closing half hour. All of it comes with their own PA, mics, stands and stools, and they'll run the sound themselves.
