The Quokkas acoustic cover band/ duo formed in 2015. Hailing from the Blue Mountains near Sydney playing a selection of songs from the last 60 years and more.
The Quokkas are entertainers. We love to interact with our audience and with our repertoire of over 100 songs, we can quickly adapt to suit their tastes. So, if you want to chat with friends, and then dance up a frenzy, we are certainly your band.
People tell us they enjoy the variety of our set list. We love springing a few surprises and keep our sets interesting. We're comprised of two acoustic guitars, a snare drum with brushes and lots of harmonies. Our setup is versatile, we play clubs, pubs, weddings and parties.

Jacqueline's Birthday Party in Blaxland, Jun 2024
Awesome band. Really made my party special. Would recommended them.
Michael's Wedding in Katoomba, Oct 2022
We asked the Quokkas to take more of a background role for our wedding, and they did a really excellent job. A lot of people mentioned that the band was really great. 10/10 would hire again

More Info
We are three piece acoustic band (with a big sound). Acoustic Guitars x2, Vocals x2, Drums x1 (just a Snare and cymbal played with brushes)
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by The Quokkas.
We are an acoustic band with quality equipment (light/sound). We have a very adaptable setup, our sound can be very full or even quite quiet. What would you like?
Patrons compliment us on not being like every other band. Bands these days still play great songs however we aim to be just that little bit more different.
Songs are from the 30s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s and growing. Some of our Irish songs are even a few centuries old.
