High energy, acoustic rock n' roll duo that plays all your rock n roll favorites. You get the crowd-pulling energy of a full rock band, but at a duo price and footprint. Small venue? No problem. We can fit in anywhere

Bio

 

We are Southern Ruin, the compact acoustic rock n' roll band with the big sound but small footprint; a duo by choice and design.

We're all about playing the best rock n roll from across the decades from Led Zeppelin to the Stereophonics, but with our unique acoustic style, we put a reassuringly different spin on the rock n' roll hall of fame. The result; a high energy, rock n roll banquet with some fresh new flavours.

PERFORMACE PACKAGES

No matter what vibe you're looking for, we've got something to rock n' roll your occasion. If you want chilled acoustic, we've got an acoustic set that's just right. Or, we can soup-up that acoustic temp too if you want to get your boogie on.

Acoustic Simplicity

Stripped down for perfect simplicity.

We can cater this towards something slower to capture a particular vibe or keep the tempo up so you can boogie.

Summer beer gardens to wedding receptions; this works beautifully
