The Band

MISSY VADER:
VOCALS / PERCUSSION / KEYS
Sandra Beynon is the deliciously dark vocal talent and “enforcer” heading up this class outfit. One half of the talented Body and Soul Duo, she brings a wealth of experience and a feisty “Jagger-like” stage presence but with much, much better legs and probably a healthier chest measurement.

SEAN MULLEN:
GUITAR
Sean’s amazing skills on guitar ensure a night of real enjoyment for the connoisseur. 

Technique, experience, heart and soul combine to produce electrifying solos and solid rhythm work to support the vocals and tracks.

BASS AND BACKING VOCALS:
All-round great guy who feels lucky to be playing great music with other cool musicians. We call him “the grinning bass player”.

DRUMS:
One of Queensland’s most in-demand session and show drummers, Randall’s rock solid beats forms the backdrop to this outfit.

The Duo

MISSY VADER DUO
Sandra Beynon / Sean Mullen

Using state-of-the-art backing tracks and supported by live percussion and guitars using a full PA, this duo really delivers the heavy goods.

The Trio

For venues which require a trio format, we can do this by replacing Sandra on percussion with a dedicated percussionist, so you can fill out the stage a little more.

Client Testimonials

Not only incredibly entertaining but also possessed of a unique musical flair that sets them apart. Their performance left a lasting impression on everyone present and I would highly recommend them for any event where you want exceptional music that truly stands out. Sean's guitar skills are incredible and he supports Sandra's superb vocals perfectly.

"You guys really know how to play. Hardly ever can you have this sort of music experience from just two people! Your repertoire is amazing and everyone loved the wide selection of music you play. Sean's guitar is exceptional and Sandra's vocals cover so many styles,"

"My 50th birthday party was attended by many guest who love live music and who like to rock out. They couldn't believe the sound that this duo produced. Sean on guitar is amazing and Sandra has really got the goods vocally. They put a lot of effort into their stage setup so the whole thing looked superb and my guests were so impressed."

From the moment you turned up you were professional. Your performances were strong and really did the material proud. It's not often you have a female artist who can carry off tunes by Led Zep, Deep Purple, but Sandra nails it. Sean covers all the original solos with finesse and confidence. This duo really can rock like a band,"
