It Takes Two: Merseyside’s Best Vocal Duos @ Music Room 25/11/21

It Takes Two is back in the Music Room for the fourth time with a brand new line-up featuring four of Merseyside’s most exciting vocal duos – Tennessee Waltz, Rob Jones and Rob White, Igloo Hearts, and White Little Lies.

Tennessee Waltz are a close harmony acoustic country duo from Merseyside, comprising singer-songwriters Jimmy Rae (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Sarah-Lou Fletcher (vocals, guitar, mandolin and percussion). Since joining forces in 2015, they have established a solid reputation on the local music scene with their original material. Their live shows also feature their distinctive interpretations of songs by classic and contemporary country artists including Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers and Emmylou Harris.

Rob Jones and Rob White were born and raised in Liverpool and have been harmonising since meeting at school. Rob Jones’ songs attempt to deal with the ups and downs of life, public transport, heartbreak, The Monkees and the Mersey rain-sometimes all in the same song.

‘The harmonies, of which Simon and Garfunkel would be proud, are beautiful but with a generous sprinkle of Merseyside realism; the effect of the combination is just something to behold.’
Liverpool Sound & Vision on Rob Jones and Rob WhiteIgloo Hearts are Wrexham based couple James and Katie MacGregor. Their music incorporates classical piano and powerful harmonies, in a style that is hauntingly beautiful. Finalists at the recent Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Competition, the duo have played at many stunning venues across Wales, and the North West.

White Little Lies are Americana and close-harmony duo Vanessa Murray and Daniel Saleh. They have developed an ability to create songs that make you tap your feet as well as writing ballads that carry much more emotional significance. Each show is a guaranteed rollercoaster of emotions, from elation to reflection, and you really get the sense that there is a piece of personal experience in everything they create.
