Nerida Currey Music - Brisbane Soloist - Acoustic Covers & Singer/Songwriter - Singer/Guitarist

Nerida is professional, friendly, and very passionate about music and performing. She has a versatile range of music and loves a huge range of music; so is always able to find something for every audience member. She enjoys adapting her song selection to what the crowd is responding well to, and gets a huge kick out of people singing along or dancing to her music.

While her natural tempo is mid-tempo or mid-up tempo, she can adapt to play more upbeat, or slower, depending on your need. If you have a request for more or less of a certain type or style of music, Nerida is always happy to accommodate.

Nerida presents very well, and always looks the part. She is very friendly, welcoming and engaging with patrons and guests, and always has a smile on her face.

Nerida supplies and sets up all of her own gear, including mixer, PA, microphone, and the equipment needed to plug into in-house sound systems as well. Nerida also plays music from her finely-honed 'breaks' playlists during breaks as well, so you don't need to worry about dead-air during breaks between sets.

Whether it's chilled yet uplifting Sunday session or Friday knock off vibes, rowdy singalongs or fine dining music, Nerida’s love of music can be felt by all in the room.

I provide everything - all I need is a safe power source, and protection from the weather (for example, if outdoors, for safety, I'll just need wet weather protection, or a plan b set up spot if the day looks likely to bring rain, as the electrical equipment cannot safely be operated when wet).

Setlist sample
Sample setlist as of Nov 2023. PG versions of lyrics are utilised as a default and where child-friendly music is judged to be required. Songs can all be played down-tempo, mid-tempo or up-tempo. Songs from my setlists are selected according to the venue, vibe, patron response and preferences. If you are after a specific type of music, or more of one genre over another, please request this and I would be happy to accommodate.
