Meet Young and Wise, a stylish guitar and vocal duo based in Maidstone, Kent, performing pure acoustic versions of some of your favourite songs from down the decades. Playing without machines or backing tracks, Hannah and Shaun offer smooth, close-harmony vocals, accompanied by acoustic (or jazz, or even classical) guitar, often virtuosic, sometimes simple but always remaining sympathetic to the song.

Making music together since 2017, the duo has built a reputation on quality and reliability performing at festivals, clubs, theatres, bars, restaurants, weddings, parties and house concerts.

Although we tip our hats towards melodic, ‘retro’ and easy-listening genres, there’s no shortage of lively and modern songs in our repertoire.
