Angus & Julia Stone are an Australian acoustic folk-pop duo consisting of siblings Julia Stone and Angus Stone from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Their decision to collaborate was taken at the beginning of 2006 Prior to that, both had performed as solo artists at open mic nights but utilised the other as a backing partner Ultimately they came up with the same idea, “Why don’t we play together?
