About Sydney Acoustic Duo

Sydney Acoustic began as a single acoustic duo and has grown into a small collective of hand-picked performers, all chosen by founder Ali Zoghi. Ali is a singer and percussionist with a music degree who has played more than 1000 events, over 700 of them weddings, in Sydney and overseas. His earlier recordings as Ali & Alana are still used by couples for aisle songs and first dances. Today his signature duo is Ali & Jordyn, with both singing lead over guitar and live percussion. Because Ali's own availability is limited, the roster includes other duos: Jordyn & Ethan, Bobo & Jono (whose sets use live looping), Dom & Glenn on keys and guitar, and bilingual pair Mel & Jose, who can include Spanish songs. Soloists include Jose, Jordyn and Angel, and the three-voice Sydney Acoustic Soul trio can lift the energy into a dance floor before a DJ takes over. Most performers hold music degrees, and the collective plays weddings and executive events. For weddings, you choose the ceremony songs and the duo shapes the aisle music live. For other sets it picks songs to suit the moment, or it can send a set list for you to mark up. Song requests are welcome with at least a month's notice. The acts bring their own PA and can't perform without one, and where there's no power there are battery or generator options, usually limited to about two hours. For bookings of three hours or more, the performers ask for a meal and soft drinks. Prices aren't listed, so enquire with your date and the act you're interested in.

Performance Details

Acts include the signature duo Ali & Jordyn, several other two-vocalist duos, solo performers and an acoustic trio, suited to ceremonies, cocktail hours and receptions. Each act brings its own PA system, and battery or generator setups are available where there is no power, typically for about two hours. A run sheet is needed for weddings so the music lands at the right moments, and most planning is done by phone or video call. For bookings of three hours or more, a meal and non-alcoholic drinks for the performers are requested.

Frequently asked questions

Who performs in Sydney Acoustic Duo?

The signature duo is founder Ali Zoghi with Jordyn. Other duos on the roster include Jordyn & Ethan, Bobo & Jono, Dom & Glenn, and Mel & Jose, along with soloists and the Sydney Acoustic Soul trio.

Do they bring their own sound equipment?

Yes, they come with their own PA. They can't perform without one, because guitar and box drum would drown out the vocals. If the venue has no power, battery and generator options are available, usually for around two hours.

Can we request songs?

Yes. Give at least a month's notice and in most cases they can learn a requested song. For weddings you choose the ceremony songs, and for other sets they can pick songs themselves or send you their set list to choose from.

Do we need to feed the performers?

For bookings of three hours or longer, they ask for food and non-alcoholic drinks to be provided, as there often isn't time to leave and buy a meal.

Will they travel outside Sydney?

Yes. The duos are based across Sydney, and most will perform elsewhere in Australia, including interstate, provided flights, accommodation and other extra costs are covered.
