Durango Duo is made up of Sophie and Jack. Sophie brings the staggeringly powerful and soulful lead vocal performance, whilst Jack provides funky rhythm guitar and unique lead parts.

The duo also perform to backing tracks to further expand their sound and create a real party atmosphere.

Taking inspiration from the nostalgic, eclectic music that built each of them as artists, the pair cover tracks from the classics of the 50’s to the Top 40 hits of the present day, all in their very own folk-funk style. Some of their influences include Aretha Franklin, Chic, and Bob Dylan.
