Acoustic duo ‘Saltwater Jam’ have a killer sound that gets the audience hooked on hearing the first note of Rachel’s sweet vocals blending seamlessly with Kim’s infectious rhythmic guitar grooves.
They play a mix of well known and loved cover tunes from the 70s through to the 90s. Rachel delivers perfectly pitched melodies that are impossible not to sing along to while Kim provides a musical canvas of acoustic guitar and foot percussion to get the crowd moving. Sounding like a full band it’s hard to believe you’re only hearing two people playing live instruments with no backing tracks!
This dynamic duo began by coincidence soon after Rachel came to Kim for guitar lessons one day. He noticed immediately when she sang along that she had a special voice. So long story short – after a reshuffle of priorities the guitar lessons are on hold but the music carries on!
