About / Biography

Retro Tone Duo are an acoustic covers act featuring Lisa on vocals and Matt on guitar, stomp box and backing vox. Their sound ranges from laid-back chill cocktail bar tunes, swinging country-rock to up-tempo funky rock grooves covering a variety of classic songs from the 60s to the present.

Lisa is a primary school teacher, while Matthew is a music business owner with a musical career spanning several decades. Matthew has performed all over the world at festivals as a guitarist/electronic musician/DJ and has performed with some of Australia’s well-known musicians, such as Def-FX, Grinspoon and producer Samuel Dixon (Sia, Adele, Kylie Minogue). With a wealth of flair and experience, they have the ability to captivate audiences at any type of event.

Lisa's alluring and lively vocals combine with Matthew's groove-based, tuneful guitar style to produce an expressive, distinctive sound, covering a diversity of styles ranging from acoustic rock, 80s/90s rock/pop classics, swinging country to funky grooves. Retro Tone’s distinct approach allows them to tailor-make the atmosphere to suit your upcoming event or venue. Matthew is an experienced DJ who can play in between acoustic duo sets as well as a stand-alone DJ.
