Tortoise And Hair: Acoustic Duo

• Dustin Cottrell - vocals, guitar, piano
• Adrienne Cottrell - vocals, guitar

"When the Cottrells sing together, however, there is no doubt they are together, as their voices intertwine and blend as if caramelized together by the music" (Wildy Haskell)

Adrienne and Dustin combine skillful guitar playing and beautiful harmonies to form one of Atlanta's most exciting and loved acoustic duets.

• T&H played at our wedding and we were very pleased. They made us feel very comfortable from the first meeting and were very accommodating regarding song selections. They nailed the songs we chose for the ceremony. We chose an intimate outdoor setting for our very personalized and romantic ceremony, and T&H fit our needs to complete the feel. Several guests complimented their sound as well as their down-to-earth vibe. Thank you T&H for being a part of our special day. -- Kerryn N, Atlanta, GA, 9/2/2011
• They were fantastic to work with - talented, great personalities and professional. As a musician myself, they are one of the top duo's I've heard. There were nothing but raves about them from my guests. They played all the selections that I requested several months before the event. Job well done Tortoise and Hair! I'll hire you for my next event. -- Carol P, Carmel, IN, 6/26/2010
• Great experience overall! Adrienne and Dustin were very personable, accommodating, and professional from beginning to end. I was able to send them a list of my preferred music for pre-ceremony, ceremony and reception, and they sounded great all the way through. They did not complain at all when my reception ran a bit later than expected, which was nice because I had plenty of stresses on my wedding day! I would highly recommend this duo to any of my friends. -- Cindi E, Sarasota, FL, 6/5/2010
• Very talented and professional... These couple are just THE BEST... -- Leandro F, Marietta, GA, 8/1/2009
• Tortoise and Hair gave a nice and personal touch to our wedding. We were very happy to have them. -- Sandro G, Raleigh, NC, 6/25/2010
• Our event was a grand opening for our business which was advertised through the local chamber. Tortoise and Hair were truely an asset since we didn't know how many people and what age bracket would come. We are somewhat unique in that we are offering lodging, trail rides, hand made gifts and events in a country setting. They took it all in stride, went with the flow and offered such a wide variety of music that all the guests were visibly pleased. We also had dancers, an arial act and a horse vaulting demo. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a fun, highly professional, quality music performance. -- Heidi S, Williston, FL, 10/9/2010
• They were absolutely brilliant! Prompt, professional, and easy to accommodate, they served as entertainment for my 14th anniversary party. During their set, they played many of my absolute favourite songs, but I liked hearing some of their original music sprinkled in as well. In fact, I bought copies of the duo's CD to give away as door prizes. All around, they were a big hit with our guests. Without hesitation, I'd highly recommend Adrienne and Dustin for hire. -- Barbara L, Marietta, GA, 6/14/2009
• Dustin and Adrienne were very professional and accomodating for the situation There music is bright and tuneful and very interesting I would describe it as basicall folksy with a strong jazz influence They would be suitable for most occasions but especially people interested in new and creative music -- William C, Concord, NC, 6/6/2009
