About Face the Strange Acoustic

Electrifying and acoustic, imagine that? Guaranteed to wow your guests!

Verified profile

Break Away acoustic duo In a Nutshell First of all, neither of us have ever been in a nutshell. That would be ridiculous. We are, however, two completely dedicated musicians who are committed to giving the very best performances for our audiences. We believe that there is something incredibly special about the simplicity of a great voice singing next to an acoustic guitar. No gimmicks, just pure music. Tracy and Andy have been working professionally together for 3 years and have developed an incredibly close professional relationship which shows when they perform. Each show is different and eclectic but never disappoints.

Definitely recommend this band, they played all the songs I requested and even acted out scenes for me when I proposed to my partner, it snowed that day and the roads were chaos but they never let me down, we had teams meetings before the event to run through everything which was brilliant for me, 10 out of 10 all round, lovely couple, great musicians and delivered in every way.

We've had Tracy and Andy to play at our venue a number of time now and they never fail to impress. Not only are they both lovely people, they have the crowd singing along, and always take the time to speak to customers before, during and after gigs. Always a pleasure to have xx

We had a garden party and Tracy and Andy played. They where absolutely incredible. Their chemistry is palpable and musicianship quite frankly blew our minds. We will have them back when we are allowed too. Their sets are very varied but they also learned songs just for our event. Could not recommend them more.
