The act
An authentic live sound and clear musicianship can give the wedding room an atmosphere that feels polished without becoming impersonal. Luke Melhop is a full time singer, guitarist and looper with more than two decades of performance experience. He can coordinate a smooth solo or duo, an energetic party band or a larger theatrical lineup, tailoring the soundtrack to the occasion. The performance is genre diverse and can shift from gentle background music towards material intended to ignite the dance floor. This should suit couples who want flexible scale, pure musicianship and one coordinated musical direction for their wedding.

Good to know
What to expect
An honest live show, played rather than triggered. Luke's repertoire crosses classic rock, country, folk, funk, soul and Australian pub rock, and he moves between them mid set depending on what the room is giving him. The musicianship is the point. No backing tracks doing the heavy lifting, just a bloke who's been doing this for twenty years reading a crowd and playing to it.
On the day
Luke owns several PA and lighting rigs and brings the one that matches your room, so a corner of a restaurant and a function centre both get the right amount of sound. Power is the only thing he asks for. And depending on the setup, sometimes not even that.
Performance options
He works solo with his own sound and lighting production, or brings in extra musicians from the South East Queensland players he's gigged with for years, right up to a big band. There are all day wedding packages if you want the ceremony, the drinks and the reception covered by the same act, and extended travel arrangements for events further out from Brisbane.
