While acoustic guitar is the main instrument for this band, they are also known to use harmonicas, trumpets, cellos, pianos, mandolins and drums. Julia Stone has a beautiful voice which, at times, faintly reminds me of singers such as Mette Lindberg and Miss Li. Her voice is soft and sweet. When combined in excellent vocal harmony with her brother, the songs become entrancing. Angus and Julia’s music could be classified in many different ways depending on who is singing and who created the song, as their sound spans numerous genres such as Blues, Jazz, and Folk.

Their songs are simple, yet, in that simplicity the listener is treated to an amazing combination of intelligent music, intensely deep lyrics, and sophisticated sounds. MarsBands.com is proud to share this amazing band with you, and hope that you’ll share them with your friends.
