Laid back songs, swinging country rock and more upbeat rock all sit within Retro Tone Duo's acoustic cover sound. Lisa sings lead vocals while Matt contributes guitar, stomp box and backing vocals, with groove based guitar playing beneath their expressive approach. Their repertoire covers classic songs from the sixties onwards, giving you several decades to explore as you choose wedding music. The duo can tailor the atmosphere to the occasion, so a relaxed reception opening and a livelier later moment are both worth discussing. Customised packages can include solo instrumental guitar, the covers duo and a DJ, offering different musical formats within your wedding plans.

Good to know
What to expect
The mood shifts across the night. Retro Tone Duo open laid-back and easy, move through swinging country rock, and lift into up-tempo rock when the room is ready for it. The material comes from the 60s onward and sticks to songs that have lasted. Lisa's vocals sit over Matt's guitar and stomp box, and the combination gives them a sound of their own rather than the standard acoustic duo one.
Performance options
Beyond the covers duo, there are two other pieces they can bring. Solo instrumental guitar works for the parts of a day that want music without vocals over the top, ceremony and arrivals being the obvious ones. And a DJ set covers the stretch after the live music stops. The three can be combined into one arrangement, so a single act covers a whole event rather than you booking separately for each part of it.
