Reviews of Acoustic Duos based near New York

4.9/5 from 5 reviews
Photo of Fabiandrums Fabiandrums "Hiring the singer and percussionist for our wedding's hora loca was hands down the best decision. Right from the start, the energy of the party skyrocketed. The singer is incredibly charismatic and perfectly masterclass at hyping up the crowd, and pairing that with the live beats of the percussion was on another level—it brought so much power to every song! They managed to get absolutely everyone on the dance floor, even those who usually stay seated at least grand ma and grandpa they were clapping. We highly recommend them if you want a truly unforgettable wedding."

Simply put, if you are looking for a typical, run of the mill house band for your party these guys are not that. They were outstanding, engaged the crowd and had people jumping out of their seats. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to our next event."

We can’t say enough great things about Blue Jersey Band! Our residents absolutely loved them—their energy, enthusiasm, and friendly nature truly made the event special. This dynamic duo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time, engaging with residents and working hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and positive attitude didn’t go unnoticed, and we’ve already received so many compliments thanks to their efforts. We would welcome them back in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring acoustic duos typically costs between $160 and $1,600+, with an average of $550. The price depends on performance length, the musicians' experience and whether vocals are included alongside instrumental performance. An acoustic duo offers an intimate sound suited to ceremonies, receptions and smaller venues.

The acoustic duos perform a wide range of acoustic music including pop, rock, folk, soul, indie, country and current chart hits. The acoustic format gives songs a warm, intimate feel that suits both background music and featured performances.

Hiring acoustic duos is a popular choice for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, garden parties, restaurant entertainment and intimate venues. An acoustic duo delivers more musical variety than a solo artist while remaining compact and versatile.

Most acoustic duos need very little space and bring their own instruments and a small PA system. Some can perform entirely acoustically for smaller venues. Their compact setup makes them ideal for venues with limited room for entertainment.

Many acoustic duos offer the flexibility to start with gentle background music during dinner or drinks and build to more energetic, party-style sets later. This makes them ideal for events that change in mood throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event flow with the duo.
