It Takes Two: Merseyside’s Best Vocal Duos come to the Music Room this Wednesday
For this very special show on Wednesday 5th December 2018 Liverpool Acoustic brings to the Music Room four of the very best vocal duos performing on Merseyside today. Each stunning duo – ME and Deboe, Limerance, Two Black Sheep, and White Little Lies – will play their own set, and with the possibility of surprise collaborations this is an evening not to be missed!
ME and Deboe (Mercy Elise and Sarah Deboe) are famed for their driving guitar style, super-tight harmonies and sharply observed lyrics. With a style all of their own nobody sounds quite like ME and Deboe!
Limerance (Jenny Coyle and Calum Gilligan) perform with one guitar, one microphone and two voices in perfect harmony. Their on-stage chemistry is clear for all to see and hear, with harmonies reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel.
Two Black Sheep (Amy Chalmers and Ian Davies) accompany their well-crafted folk songs with violin and guitar, and two harmonious voices. On the night Two Black Sheep will be joined on stage by a string quartet to present songs from their brand new album The Earth Below due for release early next year.
White Little Lies (Vanessa Murray and Daniel Saleh) is the newest of the four duos. Each an established musician in their own right, together they combine to showcase original Americana songs with delightful country folk style harmonies.
