Timeless Music
Performed with passion
Music is Our Passion
If you’re looking to hire musicians in the Phoenix area, SoSco Flute and Guitar Duo can help. Our award-winning duo has been providing top-notch musical entertainment for high-end weddings, private parties and corporate events since 2014.
Awards
SoSco Duo has been honored with the award “Best Musician/Band” by Best of Our Valley for three years in a row – 2017, 2018 and 2019. We have also been nominated for the Governor’s Arts Award in the small business category, an award presented by the Arizona Citizens for the Arts in partnership with the Office of the Governor.
In 2021, the duo entered several original music compositions into Artlink’s 21st Annual Juried Exhibition, Contemporary Voices. As a result, they were selected to perform live at one of the four Contemporary Voices Sections, hosted at FOUND:RE Contemporary.
Musicians who connect with audiences
Performances where we are able to speak directly with our audience members are most rewarding to us. It’s then that we learn how our music has helped listeners connect with their memories and emotions.
For us, using music as a vehicle to connect people to powerful memories and emotions is our work. This is why we do what we do, and this is why music matters so deeply.
