The Downtown Collective

Simon and Kathleen work as a Brisbane duo built around female vocals and guitar, with professional backing tracks filling out the sound. The pair can grow: extra vocals, bass, drums, keys, brass or a DJ, right up to an eight piece if the room calls for it. Their material moves between smooth jazz, easy grooves and the dance songs people actually wait for, drawn from the 50s through to now. They read the room rather than run a fixed set, so no two nights land the same way. Weddings, corporate nights, galas and showcases are the usual work. They're insured, and they just need power and a bit of space.
