A Soft Focus
A Soft Focus
From intimate, pin-drop acoustic ballads and sophisticated solo dinner piano to full-band crowd anthems powered by custom JamZone backing tracks—Kyle & Sammy-Jay bring theatre-grade warmth and energy to every stage.
Honoured to be featured on the Front Cover & 2-Page Spread of What's On Fraser Coast Magazine (Issue 109) and selected as Grand Finalists at the 2026 Beach House Unplugged Competition. Whether commanding a festival stage or setting the mood for an intimate coastal wedding, A Soft Focus turns every performance into an occasion.
Mix and match for a single event (like Solo Piano for dinner followed by the Full Duo for the dance floor) or book the exact setup that suits your venue and budget.
All the punch and energy of a full band in a compact 2-piece footprint. Using multi-track JamZone accompaniment, we fill the room with upbeat 80s, 90s, 00s, and modern singalong favourites.
Pure, unhurried musical chemistry. Drawing on our theatre backgrounds, we reimagine beloved songs "A Soft Focus Style"—moving from delicate, pin-drop storytelling to soaring vocal crescendos.
Warm, refined solo piano arrangements tailored for conversation and atmosphere. Available as a standalone booking or as a seamless prelude hour before Sammy-Jay joins for the main sets.
Our complete piano, vocal, and PA rig can run 100% off-grid on dedicated battery power for up to 2 hours—ideal for beach wedding ceremonies, K'gari & coastal headlands, botanical gardens, decks, parks, and boat charters with zero power outlets.

A real-life couple who met in a theatre rehearsal room in February 2024 and haven't stopped making music together since.
Originally from the United Kingdom and calling Australia home for the past three years, Sammy-Jay is a powerhouse vocalist, international performer, and passionate Drama & Film teacher in Hervey Bay.
Equally at home delivering roof-raising anthems or whisper-soft acoustic storytelling, she is also a familiar face on the Z-Pac Theatre and Brolga Theatre stages.
Originally from Canada and a proud Australian citizen after 17+ years down under, Kyle is an expressive pianist and keyboardist with a deep love for dynamic, song-first accompaniment.
Also an accomplished theatre technician and designer at Z-Pac Theatre, Kyle brings crystal-clear live sound engineering, rich musical arrangements, and effortless solo piano elegance to every gig.
Performing regularly across Hervey Bay, Maryborough, the Fraser Coast, and select destination events.
We are 100% self-contained with our own professional PA speaker, digital audio mixer, and vocal microphones—plus a 2-hour off-grid battery-powered setup so we can perform on beaches, gardens, decks, parks, and boats with zero mains power required. Based in Hervey Bay, we perform across the Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, K'gari, Gympie, and the Sunshine Coast.
