Lisa sings, Matt plays guitar, stomp box and backing vocals. That's Retro Tone Duo, an acoustic covers act from Merewether whose sound moves from laid-back through swinging country rock to up-tempo rock, working the songbook from the 60s forward. Bill Withers, CCR, Divinyls, Queen, ABBA, Norah Jones, Fleetwood Mac, Cold Chisel, Tracy Chapman, Dolly Parton, Elvis. Her vocals sit over his groove-based guitar and the pairing gives them a distinctive sound rather than a generic duo one. They shape the atmosphere around the event, so a venue night and a wedding get different treatments. Solo instrumental guitar and a DJ set can be packaged in alongside the duo. All they need is power.

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.
