Private Function - July '23
Grape Escape have the sound and energy of a full band, in one compact package! Comprised of David Shanhun and Tom Leggett they get the party started reliably every time, and can easily adapt to the crowd on the night, making them an excellent and versatile choice for weddings and events.
The Auckland-based duo combine a wealth of experience from shows together, as well as individual histories which include opening for Foreigner, Heart, My Chemical Romance (& more!), plus touring in multiple countries between the pair. Tom and David are fans of having fun, engaging the crowd and cover an extensive range of songs from the classics to current hits.
You want a duo that's compact but still grooves hard, can roll with the vibes on the day, and makes the whole process of booking and organising music easy. That's what we do.
We've been the live band for numerous weddings, corporate events, and birthday celebrations. We know which songs work for dancing, and which ones to bring out for the late night singalongs.
We're also on point with sound gear, and can provide an unmatched live sound that everybody can enjoy. Below are a few of the things we cover to make your life and event planning easier.
Plugging into a house system - done.
Bringing a full PA instead - no problem.
Providing a wireless mic for guests or speeches - we got you!
Adding lighting to set the vibe - we're on it.
Switching up the set list to match the crowd - lets go!
Playing softly because you've got people dining - sure thing! (yes it's possible!)
Managing break music between sets - no stress.
Engaging with the crowd and entertaining - our favourite!
