Kickstart Duo

 

 

  

Kickstart Duo are Chris and Hugh from one of Brisbane’s most popular cover bands, Kickstart. Just like Kickstart, the band, we play a great mixture of well-delivered soft rock classics from the 60s to the present including a sprinkling of some well-loved Aussie classics.

The Duo

The duo Chris (keyboards, lead vocals) and Hugh (guitar and vocals). You can read more about us both on the Bio page.

Repertoire

We have tailored our repertoire to mid-week and Sunday afternoon audiences who like to hear a few laid back numbers as well as some upbeat numbers to dance to. However we can rock it up for a Friday or Saturday night as well! Whilst we play the standards that people love to hear, we also play some popular numbers that don’t often get played as well as a cross-section of genres so there is something for everyone!
