The Coney Islands are a duet who specialise in covers from the 1960s, bringing a laid back vibe perfect for private functions, cafes, restaurants and events. If you’re after an ambience that blends the dulcet tones of Nancy Sinatra with the effortless cool of Lou Reed and Nico, our style can groove you, move you, and bring some nostalgia to the scene.
We are an acoustic duo with Romy Hooper on vocals and melodica, and Jaisi Sheehan (The Electric Confectionnaires, The Psychs) on guitar and harmonies. We’ve got a simple set up, a chic look and a rad song list; think The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Monkeys and more. Having played together for over 5 years, we have amassed a repertoire that means we can play anywhere from 1 to 5 hours - and we’d be happy to do so for you.
