I LOVE PLAYING SONGS.
I’ve been a professional musician for nearly 15 years, playing everything from large stages to raging pubs to intimate band rooms, and even at the MCG. I’ve played shows with 5 Seconds of Summer, Daryl Braithwaite, and Teskey Brothers.
While I’m no stranger to making big sounds solo, I also play in duo, trio and band line-ups for bigger occasions, and have a broad range of genres, and decades in my repertoire. You can check out my song list here.
I’m a seasoned wedding muso, and want to make sure my couples get the best experience out of their day. So if you’re looking for a musician that will steal the show, crack jokes and make song dedications unprompted, I’m not your guy. I love responding to the mood of your event on the fly, and I’m a stickler for the details (and keeping an abundance of extra batteries and strings in my kit).
I also do corporate gigs at all scales, and make original music which you can check out here.
I can’t wait to create the perfect soundtrack to help get you married!

DUO
How about some sweet harmonies as you say ‘I do’?
An additional musician can really add body to acoustic sound. Whether you’re after another male or female vocal, an extra guitar, or a combination of both, we know a guy.
TRIO
Three is often the magic number to really get people moving.
If you’ve got your heart set on drums, bass, keys, guitar, or extra full harmonies, we’ll make a plan.
Band
Looking to go all out? Make live music the most impactful part of your day.
Drums, bass, keys, guitar, harmonies? Short of a full gospel choir we can arrange just about anything.
please get in touch about duo, trio and band options

The default is a black suit, I’m happy to accommodate dress codes or colour palettes where possible.
-
I take a deposit to secure your date, with the remaining balance due 14 days out from your date.
-
The earlier the better, Spring and Summer months tend to book out soonest.
I do ocassionally have last minute dates though, so don’t hesitate to send an inquiry.
-
Honestly, not a lot. A flat surface to set up on, a power source (though I do have a battery powered set up available if necessary), and a good understanding of where you want me and when.
In case of outdoor events during Summer I ask that shade be provided for sets longer than 30 minutes.
-
I read the room rather than steal the spotlight, I won’t turn every chorus into a vocal showcase and come with a wealth of experience and preparation.
SONG LIST
Yes, it goes on and on. No I won’t play Christmas carols at your wedding (unless you’d like me to).
Please note that all wedding packages include at least 3 songs learned just for you (if they’re not already on this list).
