acoustic duo

An acoustic duo is a musical act consisting of two performers who play without electronic amplification or effects, typically featuring voice and guitar, though other instrument combinations appear.
The format emphasizes intimacy and stripped-down arrangements: The acoustic duo played coffee shops and wine bars.
