Let me entertain you!

Hi, I’m Dan.

I'm a professional musician, singer, guitarist, songwriter & MC Based out of Hobart, Tasmania but often travel and perform across South East Queensland. I specialise in providing entertainment for weddings, parties, events & corporate functions.

I have over 18 years’ experience in the music industry & have played at hundreds of events & venues across the years with an exceptional ability to tailor make every performance to suit the event and the venue.

My ethos as a performer is to keep things simple. I aim to go above & beyond to add atmosphere & create a beautiful, seamless & well organised experience. I focus on providing professional & reliable service, clear communication, quality equipment, affordable pricing & great music. I am also extremely passionate about working with my clients to customise my performance to meet their needs & entertain them with the music that they want to hear!

Why choose me for your event?

  • As a full-time, professional musician, I’ve been managed under SoundsGood, Empirical, Rooster Live4Locals and Island Entertainment.

    I have performed at many weddings, events & iconic venues over the years including the Stone & Wood Brewery, Old Kempton Distillery, Derwent Distillery, The Glen Hotel, Wynnum Manly Leagues Club, Bargara Beach Hotel, Great Keppel Island, The Cleveland Sands Hotel, several Pig & Whistle venues across Brisbane & many… many more!

    My expertise is being able to gauge exactly what your guests’ will enjoy & playing music that everyone will know and love.

    As an experienced MC, I am well versed at reading the room, I know what it takes to manage the flow of a reception & get the party started!

  • Having planned a wedding at the beginning of the pandemic, I understand the importance of being a punctual, caring, reliable & professional vendor.

    With an eye for detail and personalized attentiveness I manage my bookings to ensure all clients are met with responsive, caring & efficient service.

    I am also available by email & phone to help you plan the finer details & answer any enquiries you may have & to customize your event to the best of my ability.

  • I use high quality Bose speakers, Rode microphones, LED pixel corner lights, Cole Clark guitars & Elixir guitar strings. I arrive 40 minutes (at a minimum) prior to the event, to ensure the sound quality & set up is great!

  • I believe having a MC or live music at your event shouldn’t blow your budget! My pricing page & packages are transparent & easy to understand. I am always happy to work with you to find a price which is a happy medium for us both. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would like a quote tailored to your event.

  • Both myself & my equipment are insured (with both Public Liability & Personal Contents’ Cover).
