JD and Tania Acoustic Duo

From ambient moody background to cracking dance floor fillers, this class act duo can do it all!  You have heard them all around Melbourne most regularly at Crown Melbourne’s live music venues Mesh, Merrywell, Mr Hive, Atrium, Aviary, Bistro Guillaume, The Conservatory, Sports Bar, The Pub, Mahogany Room, Groove Bar and The Waiting Room.  Online they made a splash on Sundays with their live stream from the lounge (with paired cocktails for the regular viewers) in JD and Tania Acoustic Duo’s Sunday Sesh. 

Their set list is extensive and their appeal is far-reaching as these incredible singers tackle a repertoire that reflects both their vocal abilities, cracking harmonies and above all else a love for their craft. 

Whether it is R&B, Soul, Jazz Standards, Sing-a-long favourites, All Aussie Classics, Pop 80s, Yacht Rock, Chart topping top 40 dance floor bangers, and songs you didn’t even consider- they will always keep your toes tapping and your brain firing with memories and moments you can’t help but turn to your bestie and say “OMG I LOVE THIS SOOOOONNNNG”!

Surprising many a crowd with their ability to change gears and take requests on the fly, JD and Tania are a Duo that specialise in “reading the room” and tailoring a musical menu to suit. 

Captivating piano covers, undeniably great songs with live looping beats and two of the best voices Melbourne has on offer, these two are the perfect accompaniment to your next special event.
