Live acoustic music · Brisbane Bayside

Acoustic musician in Brisbane Bayside

This is home turf. I live out here and I play out here more than anywhere else — the bayside pubs, the clubs, the waterfront functions and a lot of back yards between Wynnum and Redland Bay.

  • Solo or acoustic duo
  • Own PA and lighting
  • Pubs, weddings & parties
  • Local. I am usually ten minutes away.

Solo or two of us

Acoustic duo in Brisbane Bayside

Bayside rooms are mostly solo gigs — the clubs, the front bars, the deck out the back. When a function wants more weight, the duo adds a second player and harmonies without losing what makes an acoustic night feel close.

What a night looks like

Ceremony to last song

Wedding singer in Brisbane Bayside

Bayside weddings are my favourite kind of booking because I am ten minutes up the road. Ceremony on the grass, canapés on the water, then the reception — acoustic guitar for the aisle, and as big as you want it later.

Asked about Brisbane Bayside

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.

Which bayside suburbs do you cover?

All of them, from Wynnum and Manly through to Cleveland, Victoria Point and Redland Bay. I live out here.

Can you play outdoors on the water?

Yes, with power nearby and some cover if the weather turns. My PA handles a backyard or a waterfront lawn comfortably.

Do you do short bayside sets?

Yes. A ceremony and canapés is a perfectly normal booking — it does not have to be a full three-set night.

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.
