What happens when you hand a microphone and an acoustic guitar to two rock enthusiasts? 

 

Jessica and Henry, veterans of the Vancouver music scene, are best known for their performances at clubs, festivals, and casinos with their dance-rock band, Sound Machine. 

 

But what happens when certain songs don’t quite fit the dance floor vibe? The answer is simple: strip it down, slow it down, and breathe new life into it. 

 

As an acoustic rock duo, they take a minimalistic approach, offering straightforward covers of classic rock and pop hits. Inspired by the raw authenticity of the MTV Unplugged sessions, they craft performances that bring out the heart and soul of the music. Their stripped back style provides a refreshing change of pace for the songs, the audience, and themselves. 

 

In the end, Jess + Henry, Unplugged prove that sometimes less is more and that great rock music doesn’t need to rely on frills to shine.
