Ade Payne

The act

This one suits you if a wedding band isn't the point and you'd rather hear a songwriter with a bit of grit and heart in the mix. Ade Payne is based in Perth and writes his own material in an alt country and folk rock style, so the feel leans more boots-and-roads than glossy pop. There's real live mileage behind it too, including stages around the world and an opening spot for Little Big Town in Nashville. For a wedding, that kind of sound makes most sense where people can actually take it in, not talk over it. The moment most tempting here is drinks after the ceremony, when those self-penned songs could give the afternoon some character without pushing too hard.
