You can always expect something a little different with Mckenzie & Jon!

We love to put our own unique spin on the covers that we play. This creative twist not only helps us showcase our capabilities on our instruments, it helps us ensure we do justice to the songs you all know and love! It allows us to break the shackles of the same old tried and tested "cover band formula" and provide you with a truly unique show worthy of the ears of all your family and friends!

If you have certain songs you would like us to learn for your event, please feel free to ask. With a little bit of notice, we are always more than happy to take the time to learn a new song or arrangement specifically for you!


Our set up is very simple, all we require from you is a power point, we can provide the rest!

If you are planning an event at a larger venue or a venue with specific sound requirements please let us know beforehand, we can organise to hire larger PA systems or other site specific equipment prior to the event if required.


Set lists can be provided upon request once booked. This list is ever changing, so best to ask closer to your event!
