About
Crossroads blues is a blues band for hire in Sunshine Coast, QLD.
Forty years of playing sits behind Crossroads Blues, and it shows in the material: Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, JJ Cale, Chuck Berry, Elvis, then a hard turn into The Angels and AC/DC when the room wants it. Red House, Sweet Home Chicago, Wonderful Tonight, Knocking on Heaven's Door. Special guests get brought in sometimes for Amy Winehouse or Joe Cocker material. The band works as a three or five piece across pubs, clubs, corporate events and private parties on the Sunshine Coast, where they've played Diggers Bar at Tewantin RSL, Noosa Marina and bowls clubs. Three sets of eight or nine songs with short breaks fills about three hours. They'll need a small stage, covered if it's outside, and two double power points.
Watch
On the day
A small stage for three musicians, covered if the event is outdoors, with two double power points nearby. Depending on the size of the crowd, a couple of security staff and a stage that's safe to stand on are worth sorting out. Everything else the band handles itself. Special guests can be brought in to change up the night if you want that.
Performance options
The standard night is three sets, eight or nine songs each, with a ten to fifteen minute break in between. That fills roughly three hours. Requests get taken and worked into those sets, so a song that matters at your event can be built into the running order rather than shouted at the stage on the night. If three hours won't cover it, a fourth set can be arranged. Line up is either the three piece or the five piece, depending on the room and the volume you want.
