Solo or two of us

Acoustic duo in Gold Coast

The Gold Coast rooms that book live music are usually big enough to want the duo: two of us, harmonies, and sound that fills a room without flattening the conversation. Solo works too, and costs less — the honest answer depends on the size of your space, and I am happy to say which I would bring.

What a night looks like

Ceremony to last song

Wedding singer in Gold Coast

As a wedding singer on the Gold Coast I cover the ceremony, the canapés hour and the reception, or only the part you want live. Walk-down-the-aisle songs on acoustic guitar, something warm while people have a drink, then the lift for the first dance. Solo or acoustic duo, with my own PA either way.

Asked about Gold Coast

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 travel to the Gold Coast from Brisbane?

Yes, regularly. Give me a bit of notice and the drive never eats into the set — I book Gold Coast dates well ahead.

Is there a travel charge for the Gold Coast?

There can be, depending on the date and how long the booking runs. I will tell you the whole number up front, with nothing added afterwards.

Solo or acoustic duo for a Gold Coast wedding?

Duo suits a bigger reception room or an outdoor space where the sound has somewhere to escape to. Solo suits a ceremony, a long lunch or a smaller room. Tell me the venue and I will give you a straight recommendation.

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.
