The act
You will notice Jude McDues combining guitar, harmonica and kick percussion beneath a voice shaped by country and Americana. His repertoire moves through country rock, pop, ballads, oldies and world music, with an emphasis on familiar songs rather than lengthy talk. Jude can adapt the set list for a special occasion when given sufficient preparation time. He has performed internationally and appears regularly around Melbourne and at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. His strongest option expands the solo performance into a three or four piece band for a larger wedding sound.

Good to know
What to expect
Jude McDues turns up on time and dressed for the room. The music is guitar, harmonica and a kick percussion pad, running through country rock, Americana, pop and oldies, upbeat numbers alongside the ballads. And there's more playing than talking, which not every solo act manages. Give him enough notice and he'll adapt the setlist for whatever the occasion is.
On the day
A performance area of about 2 by 3 metres, and one 240 volt power point within reach of it. Jude likes around two hours before guests arrive so he can set up properly and run a sound check without anyone waiting on him.
Performance options
Every booking comes with a professional PA and some lighting, so there's nothing to hire in. If your event needs a particular shape, a set built around a milestone or a specific run of songs, Jude will talk it through and put something together for it.
