The act
A background as a rock band's lead guitarist sits behind Nick Rivers's work as a solo performer. His event music can provide a smooth backdrop or take on more energy when the occasion calls for it. For your wedding, you could consider that contrast around reception drinks and a later gathering where the music becomes more prominent. He performs in intimate settings and larger venues, so you can discuss the atmosphere you want without beginning with just one kind of occasion. For couples who want the musical mood to change through the celebration, his adaptable approach feels useful.

Good to know
What to expect
Nick came up as lead guitarist in a rock band, and that shows in the solo work more than you'd expect. He plays cafes, bars, clubs and RSLs around Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, mixing covers with his own material and using looping to thicken it out. Every event has its own feel, so it can sit gently in the background while people arrive, or push harder once they've settled in and had a drink. Say which you want and he'll pitch it there.
On the day
All the equipment is his, so he turns up self sufficient. He can run off a single standard ten amp power point, or off a battery system for smaller rooms, which makes an outdoor spot with nothing plugged in perfectly workable. Let him know which it'll be so he brings the right rig.
Performance options
Bookings run from two hours upward. He's open to a conversation about how the time is arranged, particularly for daytime gigs and anywhere local to the Noosa shire, so it's worth saying what you have in mind when you enquire.
