Wedding drinks could have an intimate instrumental setting with the Steyer Brothers, whose performance brings classical guitar together with seven string guitar. Their music is suited to the gathering before dinner, giving you a way to place the live instruments close to the conversations and welcomes. You might think of that part of the celebration as time to listen between catching up with guests, particularly if you enjoy the detail of guitar playing. Instrumental bossa nova and jazz are also among their selections, offering those musical styles alongside the guitar combination you can explore for your reception.

Good to know
What to expect
Classical guitar and seven-string guitar together, played close and quiet, which makes it a natural fit for cocktail hour or the drinks before dinner at a corporate or private event. The repertoire is unusual for Australian ears and that works in its favour. It is intricate music, and it is beautiful, and between those two things it tends to catch the attention of people who came intending to talk through the background music.
On the day
On the technical side they need two mixer channels, one of which must carry phantom power. The classical guitar runs a DPA mic, so it wants a mic lead. The seven-string has its own DI and needs a lead as well. Add one foldback wedge for monitoring, access to a power point, and two chairs to sit on. If your venue is not set up for any of that, they can bring their own equipment instead. It depends on the event and how the space is arranged, so mention it when you get in touch.
