A Happy Accident

About Me

Suffolk-based singer/songwriter Lisa Andrews and guitarist/songwriter Joe Hunt first met over 10 years ago, and have played together in various guises over the years. Their current project is acoustic duo A Happy Accident.Their material is a mixture of relaxed, laid back songs and up-tempo numbers.Joes experienced guitar playing, together with just the right amount of subtle effects gives the tracks depth and substance without detracting from the stripped down acoustic feel of the tracks. Lisas versatile vocals lend themselves equally well to the relaxed tracks and the guitar driven, rhythmic 'poppy' numbers in the set. The duo mainly focuses on self-penned original material, but throw a few cover songs in with the mix at their live shows, from The Sundays to The Cure to the Eurythmics.
