Alter Ego
Alter Ego is an Auckland duo featuring two vocalists, guitar and keyboards. The band can play just about anything, with a songlist featuring the likes of Sam Smith, Queen, The Eagles, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder and Maroon 5, to name a few.
The talented duo are very happy to take requests, and pride themselves on creating a truly interactive experience for the audience.
Jarrad (Vocals/guitar) performs as lead vocalist in Auckland bands The Goods and Highrise, and has a wealth of experience performing at some of Asia’s top hotels. Jarrad was part of legendary Auckland covers band Catch 22 for over a decade.
Keyboard player Andy is in high demand as a session musician for the likes of Che Fu, Stan Walker, Kora and Peter Urlich, and was recently chosen to perform on synthesiser for the hugely successful Synthony events at Spark Arena.
For weddings, the duo is ideally suited to playing laidback afternoon tunes for your ceremony and cocktail hour before shifting up a gear when it’s time to party. Wedding clients could also consider having the duo in the afternoon and their trio (The Goods) or quartet (Highrise) for a full band reception experience.
For corporate events, the duo are well suited to smaller events where live music is required but space or budget mean a duo is an ideal choice. For larger events, we would recommend their trio (The Goods) or quartet (Highrise).

REVIEWS
These guys were awesome! Myself and my new wife were lucky enough to have Alter Ego play for us at our wedding in December 2020. They showed up on the day equipped with a songlist that had the wedding up and dancing for hours! The guys knew exactly what song the floor needed and always had people up and ready to dance to the next song. They had great rapport with everybody too, and seemed like they were relaxed and ready to have a good time with us. Their enjoyment of the music was infectious and fun. The performance was fantastic, with amazing musical talent! Thanks so much guys for the great job that you guys did. We loved every minute and would definitely recommend you guys to anybody.

These guys are fantastic! I have hired them for a party before, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again. So many people enjoyed all the different music that they were able to play, nothing was a problem, any request was sung, and the wide range of music choices was just awesome. I said I wanted live music for my 50th, and I didn’t even look anywhere else, having hired Jarrad in the past, I knew that I would get a great performance. Thanks so much, love your work, happy to recommend you to anyone.
