For a wedding with folk at its heart, Rob Saunders feels like a companion for the more reflective stretches of the day. His acoustic guitar and harmonica frame songs with coastal Australian imagery, drawing on the lives and landscapes that sit behind the music. The performance moves between lively folk rock and quieter ballads, with storytelling and humour woven through the show. Around thirty years of regular performing sit behind his blend of folk, Americana and blues harp. You might most want that sound as the afternoon eases towards dinner and everyone has a little time to listen.

Storytelling first, with acoustic guitar and harmonica carrying it. The songs lean into coastal Australia, open roads and ordinary life, and the show moves between foot-tapping folk rock and quieter reflective ballads with humour filling the gaps. Rob is trying to pull the crowd in rather than play at them, so the listening ends up being a shared thing. That's the part he cares about more than any individual song.
For smaller gigs of up to about 200 people he can supply a basic PA, either battery powered or mains. The four piece on a standard stage wants two DIs for the acoustic guitars and two vocal mics, with amps for bass and electric guitar already covered, and a drum kit can come along too. Six metres by three under cover is the preferred stage for a full band. Small outdoor gigs like markets can have a three metre marquee and battery PA brought in. Larger events need the PA and a sound engineer supplied at your end.
For anything more than about 100 kilometres out, fuel and a place to stay may need factoring in. Worth flagging your location early if you're a fair way from the Gold Coast, so it can be sorted before anything is confirmed.
