Duke Music · Corporate events
The music sets the tone.
Live music for Sydney corporate events where the atmosphere matters. A welcome drink, a room settling into dinner, a celebration ready to move.
We’re Josie and Tim. We bring vocals, acoustic instruments and a band built around the room, with the judgement of working musicians who know when to hold the mood and when to change it.

The line-up
Choose the sound for your room.
From a cocktail reception to an awards dinner or end-of-year celebration, the right combination starts with your guests and the shape of the event.
Acoustic duo
Live vocals and acoustic guitar for arrivals, drinks and conversation. A considered musical presence when you want the room to feel relaxed and connected.
Live trio
A fuller sound for cocktail hour and dinner. We’ll discuss the instrumentation and repertoire that suit your audience, venue and brief.
Live band
For the point when the formalities finish and the celebration begins. A band that responds to the room, with the line-up and sets agreed around your event.
DJ and live sax options can also be discussed. Your quote will confirm the performers, equipment, coverage and any travel requirements.
A closer listen
