We’re an acoustic/ bass duo, very experienced, we play every weekend at The Rocks, along with frequent mini tours to rural areas of NSW. We have a long set list of country and rock and roll leaning covers, including songs by Creedence, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Paul Kelly, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper Bruce Springsteen and numerous 50,s and 60,s rock n roll dance tunes…. the list goes on.. plus we have two albums of our own songs recorded with country legend Bill Chambers. We’re easy going, friendly, punctual, good communicators, versatile and able to adapt to whatever each gig/ venue requires. We’re not overly loud, but still able to crank it up for the dancers
More Info
We’ll be on time, we’ll play whatever times you want, the standard thing is three 45 minute sets over three hours, although I often do two one hour 15 minute sets to hold peoples interest. We often have fun with the audience, our job is to entertain and keep bums on seats or on the dance floor.
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Stuart Alexander.
We can run the entire set up from one 240volt outlet. We don’t need a ton of space, just a corner somewhere is fine, although stages are always better. We have all our own gear.
This is not the entire list, just a bit of sample to give you an idea of the vibe we go for. There’s a few of my own there, we don’t always do them, depends on the audience.
