Jazz Music: The best musicians, playing music that unites and traverses generations.
There isn't really anything better than a live jazz band at a wedding. Nothing inspires dancing more than having truely exceptional instrumentalists together in a band, playing their hearts out into the early hours of the morning. We can customise the perfect set list for your party, wedding or event and include not only jazz music, but also popular covers too. Requests are most welcome. We are available as a duo with voice and either guitar or piano, or as a larger band of up to six players.

Kevin is a highly regarded, versatile guitarist who plays across numerous genres on the daily through this beautiful Margaret River Region.
Kevin can be booked as a part of a duo (voice and guitar) or as a part of the Sian Fenn Jazz Band with up to 6 players as a wedding band and more.
Yallingup’s piano man, musician, producer, songwriter and music industry all-rounder has enjoyed stages and studios with some of Western Australia’s finest talent.
A life of performing, writing and producing - He has helped so many artists get their music out into the world. He leads a life of sonic variety and occasionally releases his own music in between other projects. Sean Lillico is a phenomenal jazz pianist who plays with such finesse and daring confidence.
Sean can be booked as a part of a trio (voice, flute, bass and piano) or as a part of the Sian Fenn Jazz Band with up to 6 players. Piano makes a wonderful addition to wedding bands and other note worthy events in this beautiful Margaret River Wine Region.
Mike Wiese picked up the clarinet as a 9-year-old after hearing that Benny Goodman could "make the clarinet talk".
He was classically trained but drawn into the WA jazz music scene as an engineering student.
He has played in Australia, Europe and the Middle East
as the day job evolved, appearing everywhere from intimate clubs to concert venues and large festival stages. A small but important gig was for a pair of suspicious Saudi Arabian checkpoint guards outside a petrochemical complex.
In recent years Mike has been part of the rich and diverse musical scene in WA’s south-west, playing and arranging soul, reggae and classic pub rock. But his first love is hard-swinging jazz and an audience that digs it too.
Mike can be booked in a trio setting and beyond. The saxophone is the quintessential instrument of jazz, making it ideal in your next bespoke event or wedding band in the Margaret River area.
