Russ & Brad met in 1992 after Russ was commissioned to write a new musical adaptation of Beauty & The Beast for the stage.
Brad was brought in to create lyrics and a writing partnership was formed. As independent musicians, songwriters and performers, their careers have taken many different paths. Russ started out as a Musical Director for several of the country’s leading theatrical production companies while Brad had always mainly been a singer performing support with the likes of Sister Sledge and Jo Pasquale etc.
After one successful writing collaboration it seemed obvious that this was a good partnership and in 1995 the pair wrote, produced and directed 'Mermaid' (A Musical Underwater Fantasy) – This premièred over the Christmas Season and went on to do a highly acclaimed tour of the UK.
The next step was performance and in 1997 Cool Wave Duo was formed. For over 20 years Brad and Russ worked all over the UK and abroad as Cool Wave playing to every type of audience imaginable. With a wealth of performance and staging experience their show is highly professional and slick.
With quality sound and synchronised lighting effects they are able to captivate all who watch and have received several awards over the years for their efforts.
Short Description
This year we have relaunched with a brand new show - STEVENS AND KNIGHT – Covering music from the West End & Broadway to swing, soul, pop, jazz and classic hits. Sound and lighting to suit all sized venues and a repertoire that caters for every age and taste. - If your venue has a specific style of music or taste, please let us know in advance so that we can adapt a relevant set.
Our Show
Our show changes every 6 months and so we do not provide a set list. Normally in two 45 minute sets we cover all genres of music mixed with some popular 'feel good' classics in our first half moving on to dance floor fillers from the 80's, 90's in the second half to keep everyone fully entertained.
Stevens And Knight are also available for a dedicated 1 hour swing tribute to the greats including impersonations of Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin etc – Great for corporate dinners, golf clubs, theatres and cruises.
