Ten years and more of gigging around Sydney bars and restaurants, plus weddings, corporate nights and private parties. Daniel plays up to three 45 minute sets of covers, and if you want a couple of his own songs in there, that's an option. He'll sing over acoustic or electric guitar, whichever suits the room better, and it's your call which one. The setup is entirely self contained, so all the equipment arrives with him.
A power point, and an hour before the music starts to get everything ready. That's the whole ask. He's completely self contained otherwise, bringing his own equipment along with either the acoustic or the electric guitar, so there's nothing for the venue to organise on his behalf.
The set leans on the songs people half-know and half-remember. Big Jet Plane, The Devil's Tears, Just A Boy, Mango Tree and Yellow Brick Road all come from Angus and Julia Stone, and then it fans out: Wicked Game by Chris Isaak, Karma Police by Radiohead, Come Together and Let It Be, Blood Bank by Bon Iver, Riptide, Feeling Good, Superstition, To Her Door by Paul Kelly, Steer by Missy Higgins, Jolene, It Ain't Me Babe, Folsom Prison Blues, All I Want Is You, Don't Look Back In Anger, Get Lucky and One Crowded Hour by Augie March. Also Picture Frames by Georgia Fair, Taylor by Jack Johnson, Four Seasons In One Day by Crowded House, Wrecking Ball, Crazy, Talk Is Cheap by Chet Faker, Ain't No Sunshine, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Pumped Up Kicks, Bad Liar, Blue Jeans, Electric Feel, Lover Lover, Dinosaur by Kisschasy, Read My Mind, Dancing In The Dark, House Of The Rising Sun and Another Love.
The length of the booking is the thing to decide. A single half hour spot works where music is a small part of a bigger night. From there it steps up to one longer block of about 50 minutes, then two of those, then the full three sets of 45 minutes that most function bookings end up wanting. All are the same solo guitar and vocal set, so it is a question of how much of your night you want covered. Sydney is home turf, and he quotes on anything beyond it once he knows the date, the venue and the timings.
