Pairadeux

• Elizabeth Connell - Vocals, Guitar, Djimbe
• Neil Zimmerman - Guitar, Vocals

Female/male rock duo Pairadeux is unlike any duo you've ever heard.

Utilizing guitars, vocals, electronic drums and percussion, all performed LIVE, Pairadeux sounds more like a full band than two people. Pairadeux's volume and demeanor is appropriate for any venue - from house parties to weddings, corporate events, festivals and beyond.

Now utilizing the acclaimed Bose L1 sound system (for most events), Pairadeux's clear sound radiates and fills a room in a way far more natural than typical loudspeakers...WITHOUT "blasting anyone out."

Pairadeux plays rock cover songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's thru today, as well as engaging original material. Their extensive, diverse set list ranges from Elvis to Incubus, Sheryl Crow to Coldplay, the Beatles to the Fray…. Pink, Fleetwood Mac, K.T. Tunstall, Train, Jason Mraz, Weezer, Kelly Clarkson, Counting Crows, Springsteen, Elton John, Grateful Dead, David Gray, the Cars, Eagles, Neil Diamond and many, many more.

Elizabeth's fearless, sensual stage persona is rivaled only by the power in her voice. She can jam like Joplin and rail like Raitt.

Neil is a virtuoso guitarist and singer. He sounds like more than one musician, with an arsenal of guitar effects at his disposal.

Pairadeux is very audience-interactive, performing with wireless mics and involving everyone with singalongs, trivia and animated conversation. The duo has been together for seven years, and it shows!

Please complete the form below for more information. We look forward to playing at YOUR event!

• Pairaduex was awesome for my wedding. They communicated in an extremely timely manner. They made sure they were at the venue with plenty of time to set up and get organized. The music was outstanding. With a wide varitey, there was something for everyone to dance to. My guests ranged in age from 9 years old to 75, and at one point or another everyone was on the dance floor. Thank you Pairaduex for helping to make my wedding the best day of my life! ~Sunee Golder -- Sunee L, Hesperus, CO, 6/4/2010
• They were awesome !!!! We were so happy with them. The music was wonderful , Elizabeth and Neil were amazing ! All of guests commented about how great the band was! We were so happy ! -- Lindy L, Morrison, CO, 6/25/2011
• Pairadeux rocked!!!!!! They were on top of everything from the beginning and i quickly realized that i didn't have to worry about a thing. They played at our wedding and the dance floor was not empty all night, and everyone commented on how amazing they were!!!!! Thanks Pairadeux!! -- Angie A, Denver, CO, 8/6/2010
• We loved having Pairadeux perform at our neighborhood concert. They have a great sound and they played songs that everyone knew and loved. Elizabeth's vocals on Cherry Tree were better than the original version! And Neil's guitar solos ROCKED!!! Well done! -- Jennifer O, Aurora, CO, 8/15/2010
• Not only were Neil and Elizabeth extremely friendly and open from the get go.... but they worked with us to make our wedding day the best ever! They were (are) amazing! We have had so many compliments on them - I can't even begin to tell you! Neil and Elizabeth we love you! Your personalities and your music ROCK! I would absolutely recommend them to EVERYONE! -- Shannon H, Conifer, CO, 8/23/2008
• Neil and Elizabeth were not only organized and efficient, they were talented and fun to work with. They can play a broad range of styles and they can play them WELL! I hired them for a corporate holiday party, and my group is generally pretty reserved. Neil and Elizabeth got them out on the dance floor and made the party seem like an actual party! -- Megan M, Denver, CO, 12/12/2009
• They were absolutely wonderful. Had the crowd dancing pretty quickly after dinner--this is amazing because usually after dinner everyone sits around for awhile. I had requested a particular song--which they learned for that evening:) Wonderful music selection-- As one member put it--"I either have the 45 OR the CD"...We will definitely have this band back!! They were pleasant and professional to deal with, and were perfect for our venue because we have a space issue, and their music sounds like way more than 2 people. Great Job guys, thank you very much for making our New Year's Eve a great one!! -- Cottonwood C, Torrington, WY, 12/31/2006
• Since "discovering" Pairadeux through Gigmasters, we had the opportunity to go hear them play several times before the wedding. They always put on a fabulous show - we were never disappointed! Even when it began to rain at our reception, they were troopers, and kept right on playing. They are quite personable and positively wonderful entertainers. We will definitely attend their gigs in the future. -Cheryl & Dan -- Cheryl S, Lyons, CO, 9/20/2008
• Pairdadeus was positioned w/ difficult logistics due to the setting. Never was it a problem - infact they were quite communicative in letting us know they were willing to make what ever was necessary work. They were a group I would reccommend to anyone. -- Kinta B, Saratoga, WY, 7/18/2009
• Pairadeux was awesome! They were great to work with getting ready for the party. The vocals are spectacular and so is their overall music talent. They both worked so well with the crowd and really seemed to enjoy taking requests and did a great job in diversifying the music. We will hire them again and again and again! -- Chris L, Kiowa, CO, 7/19/2008
• My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Paraduex as our band for our wedding on Sept. 22 2007. They had a wonderful performance and a great vibe for the whole evening. I was also very impressed with the selection of songs they had in their repertoire, they had a great mix of new and old, fast and slow. We had a great number of people dancing all night long, often times overflowing the dance floor. We had selected from their list all the songs that we really liked and they played everyone of them! I would recommend them to everyone I know! -- Jodie B, Denver, CO, 9/22/2007
• How can two musicians sound so good? I received many comments about their performance. Great job and thank you. -- Ken D, Cheyenne, WY, 9/7/2007
• They were outstanding!! For such a diverse crowd that we had, they were able to play something everyone could enjoy. They had people up and dancing and having a great time. The interact great with the folks in the crowd and everyone enjoyed them!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!! -- Laurie I, Denver, CO, 12/12/2005

• Pairadeux was very fun to work with! They were one of the best bands I have heard in a while. They were great! Nate and Jenna september 20, 2009 -- Jenna D, Pueblo, CO, 9/20/2009
• I hired these two very talented people for a charity event. I needed entertainment who could cover all ages from 18 to 88. They did not disappoint. The crowd I was working with can be somewhat critical :)...but that night I heard nothing but compliments and requests to invite them back. They were also very courteous and friendly, a big plus in my book! -- Terri H, Northglenn, CO, 11/13/2010
• Pairadeux was awesome at our wedding. If you want a band that will actually listen and play what you want and handle themselves with class then Pairadeux is the band for you. I would absolutely recommend Pairaduex for any ocassion. Thanks to Neil and Elizabeth for making or wedding a specail event. -- Kyle W, Fort Collins, CO, 10/16/2010
• What can I say? They were great! Very easy to work with and very professional. Hire them - you won't be disappointed. -- Haley J, Ouray, CO, 8/14/2010

• Very nice people and our clients were completey satisfied. We had hired them for a private party and they really appreciated the good music. We will try to have them back here for another event in the future. -- Georgia F, Wheatland, WY, 12/2/2011
• Neil and Elizabeth were awesome! So glad we hired them to play for our wedding. From the moment we arrived at our reception venue (a 40x60 tent outdoors at a private home looking over Breckenridge) Elizabeth was there to greet us and to get us organized. They were on top of everything and took all the stress away from us. And, on top of that, their music was unbelievable. We loved them, our guests loved them, and everyone had an incredible time. We'll be looking for reasons to host another party just to have them come play for us again. You couldnt do any better if youre looking for a band to play for your event, especially your wedding! -- AJ M, Breckenridge, CO, 10/8/2011
