About TheBand
A unique partnership – performing on classic jazz instruments, piano and bass – the Amica Jazz Duo. The very best of classic jazz and latin + contemporary repertoire, Kathy Sander on Piano and Bryan Pearson on Bass, create the ultimate ambience for your exclusive occasion. Our Cocktail Duo will set a cool sophisticated atmosphere at your function. Read more about Kathy and Bryan here.
Grand Piano and Upright Bass add that special touch to your event. We can also bring our own keyboard and electric bass. We use a quality Bose System for all sound production.
We offer cost-effective and convenient packages pairing up with either the Mood Music Band, Gatsby Band or DJ to entertain all guests throughout your special event. Take the heat off organising your wedding or corporate event, and put your trust in Amica Jazz Duo. We have been performing successfully throughout Queensland for the past 13 years.
Your Event is very important to us – big or small. We like to tailor the music to suit the occasion, taking appropriate breaks; working with the run sheet for the event. We will ensure that we are dressed for the occasion – formal or more relaxed.
These top musicians have been called on to entertain as some of Queenslands’ top events. This includes the Governors’ Christmas Reception and the annual QUT Business Awards held at the Convention Centre. Latest work has taken Amica to The Emporium Hotel South Bank, Customs House, the United Services Club, Old Government House, Stamford Plaza and Marriott Hotels in Brisbane, the Kookaburra Queen Jazz Lunch, and the Q1 and Hilton Hotels on the Gold Coast.
Paired with our partner DJ or Full Band – the Mood Music Band, Amica offer an exclusive deal which includes the duo + DJ, or you can go all out with our band as the package deal!
We also enjoy performing as Amica Jazz Trio including our Sax players, Darren McPherson, Craig Spink & Katrina Fawns. This adds a different dimension to the band and we really enjoy working with these fine saxophonists.
Amica Jazz Duo are happy to travel as far north as the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, and as far south as Byron Bay NSW. We do need to factor in our travel surcharge for events outside the Brisbane area.

Performing old school rock and pop is a speciality – think Billy Joel, Sting, Blondie!

Amica Duo were amazing! We had them play at our wedding and everyone commented on how beautiful the music was. They are so talented. Kathy and Bryan were so receptive to our music choices. Thank you Amica Duo so much for making our special day so memorable!
Kathy was exceptional to deal with from the very first phone call – nothing was too much trouble. Kathy and Bryan are sensational musicians! All our wedding guests loved Amica Duo – we will definitely be using their services again. Thanks again Amica Duo for helping to make our day so memorable!
The Amica Duo provided the perfect entertainment for our Awards Dinner. It was fantastic to have the combination of purely background music and more upbeat music with vocals. Kathy was brilliant to deal with from the initial booking stage to the event and ensured that the entertainment option provided was the most suitable for our event.
Kathy and Bryan were prompt and professional and they are talented with a great array and repertoire of songs. Their presence really helped to set the mood for the day.
I highly recommend them!
A wonderful duo guaranteed to enhance the atmosphere of any occasion – and certainly injected more than a little magic into the Brisbane launch of our new company. Highly recommended.
