See it before you book it

A real night, no polish

No studio tricks. This is what a room sounds like when I am in it.

Who you are actually booking

I'm Marco

I play as Sally's Candy Shop — solo, or as a duo when the room wants more. I live on the Brisbane Bayside and I play across Brisbane and down to the Gold Coast.

I bring my own PA and lights, I turn up early, and I read the room rather than playing at it. If the crowd wants singalongs they get singalongs. If it is a dinner, I keep it under the conversation.

The Job of Life

My own song, out now. A song about the work of being alive when nobody tells you whether you are doing it right.
