The act
Country rock energy could give your wedding a lively musical feature through Stewart Barton, whose debut recording combines Nashville country influences with Australian pub rock. Born in Canberra, he began learning guitar himself before developing through programmes for emerging Indigenous artists and the Country Rocks Spotlight programme. His performing background includes festival appearances and supporting Brad Cox, with solo shows or a full band among the formats you can consider. The later reception feels like a welcoming place for that country rock sound, when you want guests to gather around the music and give the performance their attention.

Good to know
What to expect
A country rock show with genuine charisma driving it and the energy kept high from the first song. Stewart built the playing up through ACT-based development programs for emerging Indigenous artists, plus Keith Urban's thirty songs course, then tested it properly on stages: the Country Rocks Festival at Bungendore in 2021, the ACT Multicultural Festival in 2019, Country Rocks Under The Stars at Braidwood, the national anthem at the PBR opening in Queanbeyan, and an opening slot for Brad Cox. He has shared stages with Drew McAlister, Bill Chambers, Brewn and Tommy Emmanuel. The influences you will hear are Keith Urban, INXS, Brooks and Dunn, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams and Luke Combs.
On the day
Sound and lighting production can come from Stewart, so the venue doesn't have to supply either. The other thing to settle early is which show you're after: the solo version or the full band. That decision changes the space and the gear, so raise it before the booking is locked rather than after.
Performance options
Two shapes. Solo is the close, quiet one, good for a room where people are near enough to hear him talk between songs. The full band takes it into country rock territory with the volume and the drive that comes with it. Same songs underneath, very different night.
