The Ordinary Two

We provide laid-back, family-friendly, indie music, often with a jazz flavor. It is an excellent fit for restaurants, breweries, jazz clubs, coffee shops, warming up for full bands, or when a quieter-than-full-rock-band is needed.
Most of our songs are original compositions about travel, love, and life. We sprinkle in some cover songs too. Our covers are usually of 1990s to modern alternative/indie songs done in an acoustic or jazz style. Or we might perform a classic jazz song with a modern, indie-pop twist. All songs feature skillful guitar and sweet vocal harmonies.

“...an indie-pop dog chewin’ on a jazz bone.”
Come hear the extraordinary sounds of The Ordinary Two! A duo from Denver, CO whose creation has been a long time in the making. Guitarist Jim Disner, who has shared the stage with jazz greats like Stanley Jordan and Ron Miles, joins his wife, vocalist Tanya Disner, in laid-back, acoustic, indie-pop, with a lot of jazz flavor and sweet vocal harmonies.
Jim fell in love with Tanya when he first heard her sing. Theirs is a story of inspiring love and overcoming odds. Sultry vocals and fancy fretwork spin tales of life, love and the open road in a unique Alternative/Folk/Jazz blend of simultaneously humorous, inspiring, and mournful original songs - along with some unexpected covers. Together they harmonize like only soul-mates can

With the 2018 release of their self-titled EP "The Ordinary Two" the duo began performing across the country, travelling in their DIY-converted camper/touring/mobile studio van they named Werner. In 2019 the touring continued, along with the release of the double-single "Lesser Travelled Road / We're not Gonna Take It".
When the pandemic cancelled all of their shows in 2020, they streamed "Couch Concerts" online. For 13 months they performed from home or wherever they were to keep their sanity. You sit on your couch and they will entertain you! They also kept busy recording and releasing the singles - "When The World Stops Ending", "DMV", and "Find You".
A collaboration EP with the retro-R&B horn-band, Muchly Suchwise, in 2021 brought a new take on three of their songs, also a partial return to live performances.
Their latest studio single, "Change", is a haunting lament of the struggle to stay above the abyss while watching the world change before your eyes. Ever knowing that Love is the answer.

We usually perform "acoustic/electric" with a small PA system, so we typically require access to electricity. But can also play up to 90 minutes fully acoustic, with no access to electricity. Shade/rain cover is necessary if performing outdoors. We can bring our own cover if needed.
We typically play up to three 50 minute sets, with 15 minute breaks.
