Solo or two of us

Acoustic duo in Brisbane

Most Brisbane nights are a solo show — one voice, one guitar, my own PA. The duo is for bigger rooms and busier nights: a second player, harmonies on the songs that deserve them, and enough sound to carry across a full bar without turning into a wall of noise. Same set list either way.

What a night looks like

Ceremony to last song

Wedding singer in Brisbane

As a wedding singer I can cover the lot or just the part you want live: walk-down-the-aisle songs on acoustic guitar, the drinks hour kept warm, then lifted for the dancing. Solo or duo, ceremony through reception, anywhere in greater Brisbane.

Asked about Brisbane

Straight answers

Are you a solo acoustic musician or a band?

An acoustic musician, not a band. Me and a guitar, or two of us as an acoustic duo. No drum kit, no wall of sound, and no six-piece invoice.

Do you charge travel inside Brisbane?

No. Anywhere inside greater Brisbane is the same price as a gig around the corner.

Can you play an acoustic duo in a small Brisbane bar?

Yes, though solo usually suits a front bar better. If the room is small, two of us can crowd it — I will tell you straight which one fits your space.

How far ahead do Brisbane dates book out?

Fridays and Saturdays go first, especially from October to December. Midweek is usually open at short notice.

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.
