"Both our customers and employees liked the performance by Pairadeux the first time they played here....we immediately booked them for a repeat performance and plan to include them as part of our regular entertainment schedule. They are very talented musicians" - Kris Borne, Events Coordinator:
"As a music act, they (Pairadeux) were a huge hit on our creekside patio....audience response was great and they kept people here drinking and eating. They have a diverse music catalog to draw from as well. I have had hundreds of music acts here over the years, with a lot only playing once, but I assure you you will want Pairadeux to play again. I have even booked them for a Saturday night gig, which will make them the FIRST duo to ever play here at night - that is how good they draw" - Gary Mitchell Jr., Owner:
(Pairadeux) appearing at Buffalo Bill Days for 4 years running says it all!" - Bill Pazar Event Organizer
"They were absolutely wonderful. Had the crowd dancing pretty quickly after dinner--we will definitely have this band back!!! They were plesant and professional to deal with, and were perfect for our venue because we have a space issue, and their music sounds like way more than 2 people. Great Job guys, thank you very much for making our New Year's Eve a great one!!!" - Terri Delgado, Manager

Bio
Pairadeux: "more music than meets the eye".
Pairadeux - One man, one woman, one unparalleled musical experience.
There are cover bands, there are acoustic ensembles, there are electronica groupsand then theres Pairadeux, the Denver duo that is all of the above, topped by a sweet coating of Colorado soul. With a sizzling mixture of various musical styles, unique cover renditions, skillful improvisation, high energy and raucous wit, these two exhibit a sound and presence like no other.
A pair of friends sharing their love of rock & rolls rich tradition with all who hear; such has always been the essence of Pairadeux. Those convictions speak to people of all ages, bringing younger audiences into classic rock and older listeners into newer music.
In live performance, Pairadeux specializes in wide, dynamic sound from a minimalist operation. Miss Elizabeths voice is compared by many to Janis Joplin and Ann Wilson (among other lady greats). Neils acoustic guitar mastery, with its electric infusion, along with live loop sampling and multi-effects synthesizers for both guitar and vocals, has become Pairadeuxs legacy, and a force with which to be reckoned. Their cover-tune renditions have earned their own reputation as consistently fresh, stirring, unique and, more often than not, better than the original compositions.
This talent is evident more than anywhere in Pairadeuxs latest exciting release, Pairadeux Under Cover, Part Deux. On this double-album, Neil and Miss Elizabeth have effectively blended all of their strengths into one. Disc One features their acclaimed interpretations of cover songs, as studio cuts and live recordings. Disc Two graces fans with some of their captivating original music. Featuring fan-favorite covers like Take Me to the River, Over My Head (Cable Car) and Rhiannon, as well as sultry original compositions like Til I Surrender and the uplifting Perception, Pairadeux Under Cover, Part Deux is their most auspicious work to date.
Pairadeuxs thrilling stage display and distinctive sound has entertained thousands across the USA and around the world. With three albums, hundreds of gigs, thousands of sales, and some of the most diverse and cross-generational audience loyalty ever seen in the west, Neil and Miss Elizabeth have planted their flagand the masses are rallying!
