The Rosewood Duo was formed in 2024 by Dorset musicians Keri Astill-Frew and James Shannon. A few relaxed jam sessions quickly revealed a shared musical instinct and an easy on-stage chemistry, and the duo soon took shape.
With expressive lead vocals, rhythmic acoustic guitar, live flute melodies, and percussion, they create a sound that’s warm, polished, and full of character. Their sets centre around pop and rock covers, reworked in an acoustic style, with room for indie favourites and subtle jazz influences when the moment suits. Everything is performed 100% live, with no backing tracks.
Equally at home creating a laid-back atmosphere or lifting the energy later in the day, The Rosewood Duo tailor each performance to suit the setting and crowd. From weddings and private parties to bars, hotels, and events of all sizes, they focus on delivering music that feels natural, engaging, and just right for the occasion.
