About

The Foster Brothers, based in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, is an acoustic duo offering live music for weddings and events. Brothers Barney and Joel have been harmonising together for over 15 years and publicly gigging since 2019. Since childhood, they've been perfecting their signature sound—a quality that sets them apart from other bands. This duo is totally in sync when performing and feed off each other for unforgettable on-stage chemistry. They can't wait to show you what a two-piece band can do for your party atmosphere.

Services Offered

The Foster Brothers work their magic with two acoustic guitars, an electric kick pedal, and harmonised vocals. Their distinctive sound is just as impactful as a five-piece band but for half the price. Some major inspirations for their sound are The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, The Arctic Monkeys, McFly, and The Kooks. They'll work closely with you to create a bespoke setlist from your favourite decade, giving you plenty of flexibility. This duo has a talent for entertaining with big energy, diverse genres, and clever mashups and medleys. Whether you're looking for chilled background music or a more lively and upbeat set, they'll keep the dance floor packed. They offer various packages to suit your needs, ranging from 60 to 120-minute performances with breaks. They can also plan a live set for your first dance and other milestone moments. The Foster Brothers partners with Green Light Events to provide professional lighting and sound equipment, guaranteeing a flawless experience.

Superb from onset

Thank you to Barney and Joel. We are so glad we found these two. They performed their Simon and Garfunkel package which worked beautifully in and after the ceremony. Flawless performances. Such talented guys and when they sent through rehearsal vids I was in tears let alone on the day. I knew I needed guitars for our day and would fully recommend. Thank you from Garth and I.

Best Acoustic Duo EVER!

Genuinely gutted we now don't have an excuse to see these guys! From the moment we met these pair, there was no doubt about it, they had to be at our wedding!

We met The Foster Brothers at an open day at our wedding venue, then we met them again, and again, and it became normal to see them every other month at the open days until our big day on 29th April :D! It honestly feels like we've known them for years!

As if their charm and personality wasn't enough, the talent and energy that oozes out of them gets you tapping away no matter what they're singing. We had so many compliments about the set they performed during our reception, we just wish we could have had them all day and all night long! They also took on the role of singing our first dance song, and they absolutely smashed it. It made it so much more personal having them perform it for us, and overall they both contributed to making the day so special in so many ways.

They really are the nicest guys going, and we really could not recommend them enough.

Thank you both for everything, and we will find a way to see you again soon :D!
