Top Notch!

We found Annmarie and Southern Voice on the Gigsalad website. Annmarie was easy to coordinate with and extremely professional. We hired Annmarie and Joe for an intimate company holiday celebration (about 25 people). Working with Southern Voice prior to our event was extremely easy and they were extremely responsive to our wants and needs. We didn't need to follow up on anything. With regard to the musical experience - Wow! They were amazing. They were exactly what we were looking for and everyone at our party loved their performance. Almost everyone after the event asked where we found the amazing duo.
We cannot say enough great things about Southern Voice and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

What to expect

Soloist (Female Vocals with Backing Tracks)

A powerful performance featuring our female lead vocalist accompanied by professional backing tracks. This option is ideal for smaller events, cocktail hours, ceremonies, or venues looking for a big sound in a compact, budget-friendly package.

Acoustic Duo

Southern Voice Acoustic Duo is a stylish guitar and vocal duo performing pure acoustic versions of your favorite songs. No studio gloss, no backing tracks—just simple, beautiful arrangements. This is our most classic and economical option.

Acoustic Trio

More than just a duo, it’s a trio! This option can be tailored to your needs—whether with bass guitar, keyboards, or light percussion alongside acoustic guitars and vocals. The trio provides a full, versatile sound and a great atmosphere, making it one of our most popular acoustic options.

3–4 Piece Acoustic Band

Your favorite Southern Voice sets, played all-acoustic! Acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, and acoustic drums create a professional yet intimate performance that works perfectly for venues where space or volume is a concern.

Standard Southern Voice (4-Piece Band)

Our core lineup features female lead vocals, lead guitar/vocals, bass guitar, and drums. This compact but powerful ensemble is perfect for mid-sized venues and private events, delivering a full, high-energy sound with tight harmonies.

Southern Voice Plus (5-Piece Band with Keyboards)

Adding keyboards to the standard lineup gives the band more versatility and depth. With piano, organ, and synth sounds in the mix, this setup expands our ability to cover a wider variety of genres while keeping a clean, polished sound.

Expanded Southern Voice (6-Piece Band with Saxophone & Keyboards)

For the ultimate Southern Voice experience, our six-piece band includes female lead vocals, bass guitar, lead guitar/vocals, drums, keyboards, and saxophone. This powerhouse lineup opens up even more genres—jazz, soul, Motown, funk, and pop—creating a big, dynamic sound ideal for weddings, festivals, and large events.
