About Alyce and Marco

Alyce and Marco met over a decade ago during band practice at a friend’s house. Since then, a shared love of music, travel, and pampered pets has seen them through many exciting adventures. Today, they bring crowd-driven live music performances to life across Atlanta and North Georgia, playing everything from breezy winery afternoons to lively private events and cozy coffeehouse sets.

As a duo, Alyce sings while Marco plays guitar, covering an ever-growing song list that spans decades and genres, with a sweet spot for catchy pop and rock favorites from the ’80s and ’90s. Fans help shape the setlist in real-time by requesting songs on the spot or through their online song list, which has grown to over 100 crowd favorites (including festive additions during the holidays).

Fun Facts About Alyce and Marco

Beyond the music, there’s a lot that makes our shows—and our lives—a little different. From surprise wildlife encounters to snack rituals, here’s a peek behind the scenes.

 

🎶 ORIGIN STORIES & MUSICAL STYLE

  • 💿 One has over 500 vinyl records. The other has over 1,000 CDs. It’s a perfectly nerdy balance.
  • 🎶 First “band name”? Not Captain, Not Tenille—a joke of a name for a one-night-only set played as a favor to another band.
  • 🎂 We don’t play the birthday song, but we did write an original celebratory tune, and yes, we’ll play it for you.
  • 🎵 Most likely crowd singalong: Take Me Home, Country Roads
  • 💫 One cover that unexpectedly hits just right? …Baby One More Time by Britney Spears.
  • 🦈 Most outrageous request: Baby Shark (declined… but noted for boldness)
  • 🎙️ Vocal comparisons we’ve heard from the crowd include Rihanna, Natalie Merchant, Fleetwood Mac, and Enya. Some are more surprising than others, but we’ll take them all.

 

🐾 CROWDS, CRITTERS, and CHAOS

  • 🏛️ We’ve played everything from historic buildings dating back to the late 1800s to brand-new venues still figuring out where the outlets go.
  • ⚡ We’ve only lost power mid-show twice. One of those times, we finished unplugged—and it ended up being one of our favorite sets.
  • 🕊️ We’ve performed to many adorable dogs—and one unforgettable dancing bird named Dude.
  • 🦅 During a show in the North Georgia mountains, a bald eagle flew behind us mid-song. Nature approved.
  • 📝 Silliest tip jar moment? A kid once dropped in a handwritten note—with a very corny joke.

 

🛣️ ROAD LIFE and RITUALS

  • 🧃 Road trip essentials: a small cooler with sweet and savory snacks—usually cheese crackers, nuts, gummy bears, flavored seltzer, and room-temperature spring water.
  • 👠 Alyce wears driving shoes in the car and switches to show shoes at the venue. Respect the prep.
  • 🛠️ Marco handles the packing Tetris and gear setup, which has evolved from electric guitars and amps to an acoustic rig plugged straight into the PA.

 

🎙️ A LITTLE EXTRA

  • 🎸 If you spot a howling husky on Marco’s guitars, that’s Nina—a subtle reminder of home and their off-stage companion.
  • 🎤 Dream venues? Red Rocks in Colorado and The Caverns in Tennessee—scenic, iconic, and totally our vibe.
  • ✨ Our cars have names. Our stage lights don’t. (Though some lights have died heroically in bad weather. RIP.)
