Hey! We're Claire and Peter, two college students with a love of music! We've put together an acoustic set with both modern and classic songs and are ready to play. Our set has covers from well known and underground artists alike, guaranteed to have something for everyone. We're also comfortable learning songs or genres ahead of time by request. We will perform various different events, including parties, corporate events, and wedding ceremonies/cocktail hours.
I booked Claire and Peter for an outdoor nursing home event. We had to cancel and reschedule twice but they were very flexible and accommodating. The residents loved their performance and had a lot of fun.

Our acoustic duo is perfect for any situation, whether it's background jams or mainstage rocking. Our set up is simple, but we pack a punch with powerful vocals and intricate guitar comping. Our setlist is carefully crafted to make sure there is something on there for everyone, and we will also take requests ahead of time. The energy we bring is fun, enthusiastic, and engaging. We love when people start dancing or singing along, the audience energy is the best part of performing!
Peter and I have known each other for years and attended the same music school together. There, we were a part of their main band and gigged with them for 2 years. Now, we are off in college! I (Claire) attend music school in Chicago for vocal performance and Peter attends school in Chicago in the pre-pharmacy track. Together, we've been doing music together for years. We like mixing modern and older songs together to create a fun, cohesive set.
We come with our instruments, as well as a guitar amp and two monitors. We would require power to plug those in. We're capable of adapting to whatever stage setup is available.
Some sets could include, but are not limited to:
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Dreams - Fleetwood Mac
Valarie - Amy Winehouse
Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson, in the style of The Civil Wars
Royals - Lorde
Take It Easy - The Eagles
Proud Mary - CCR
Riptide - Vance Joy
After playing with the main band at school for years, we've learned how to use the influence of other artist combined with our own artistry. We try and maintain as close to the original as we can, but we will take creative liberties now and then. The most important thing to us is doing the song justice and providing fantastic entertainment.
