🎤 Surely Shirely 🎤

Hailing from the picturesque South Coast of NSW, Australia. Surely Shirley is a musical duo that is as refreshing as a cool ocean breeze. Comprising twin sisters Jenaya and Anisha, the duo is a harmonious blend of nostalgia and coastal vibes. Surely Shirley’s music is a delightful fusion of tropical doo-wop 60s ballads, infused with pop and indie elements. Their sound is characterised by enhancing harmonies, feel-good rhythms, and a touch of nostalgia that transports listeners to a different era.

🎤 Father’s Favourite 🎤
Father’s Favourite support fellow duo act Surely Shirley on Cockatoo Island this January, Father’s Favourite is a folk-rock duo based in the Inner West of Sydney, with spellbinding harmonies and evocative lyrics, the duo presents sultry tunes with hints of bohemian rock. Hailing from the heart of a bygone era, Father’s Favourite captures the spirit of the 70s with a modern twist, the enchanting pair channels the essence from legends like Fleetwood Mac and Nancy Sinatra through their classic instrumentals and catchy lyrics. In recent Daily Mail articles, the duo has been described as ‘An embodiment of Daisy Jones and the Six’ and ‘Rock n Roll sisters.’ They invite their audience to a world of vintage vibrato, rock ‘n’ roll and the free-spirited nature of their sound.
