There’s something unexpected about the Evoniuk Cappellazzo Duo — two musicians, no backing track, yet the room feels full of sound.

EVONIUK CAPPELLAZZO DUO
Built on the interplay of Shaina’s soaring violin, Marcus’s acoustic guitar and warm lead vocals, and the organic pulse of vocal percussion, their sound is intimate but alive, stripped back but never thin. They take the songs people already love and give them new emotional weight, turning familiar melodies into moments that linger.
Shaina “Violinista” Evoniuk is a Bay Area-based violinist, producer, and composer whose playing moves fluidly between classical precision and soulful improvisation. Described by the East Bay Times as “an indispensable force on the San Francisco Bay Area music scene,” she has a rare gift for finding the emotional core of any song and elevating it. Whether she’s carrying a melody, adding harmonic texture, or driving the energy of a performance, her violin brings depth and feeling that transforms an acoustic cover into something uniquely her own.
Marcus Cappellazzo is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist originally from Cairns, Australia, whose voice carries the easy warmth of someone who has spent a lifetime connecting with audiences through music. With a background in original songwriting and touring, he brings a musician’s instinct — not just a performer’s polish — to every cover he sings. He has a natural ability to read a room and shape the energy of a performance, making every set feel personal and present.
Together, they cover rock, pop, soul, folk, and Top 40 — not as a jukebox, but as two artists who genuinely love the songs they play. The result is music that feels like it belongs at a celebration: beautiful enough to hold a quiet moment, and soulful enough to move a room.
