About
West Memphis is a country band for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Four voices, four-part harmonies, and a country rock set that doesn't leave much room for sitting down. West Memphis have played hundreds of parties and private birthdays around Sydney, mixing honky tonk and country rock with singalongs and dance numbers. Harmony is the thing that separates them from a straight covers band. It's also the thing that turns a birthday crowd into a choir by the third set. PA and lighting can come as part of the arrangement, and travel is covered. The band holds public liability insurance.
Watch
The show
Four voices singing four-part harmony, over country rock played hard enough to keep a floor busy. That harmony is the reason the singalongs work: once a crowd hears the parts stacking up, they join in. Good to dance to, and good to sing along with, which are not always the same thing.
On the day
PA and lighting can be arranged as part of the booking, so the sound and the look of the night both come from the one place and you're not hiring gear separately. Travel is covered by the band as well, which keeps the arrangements simple at your end.
Performance options
The standard set is three sets of 45 minutes. You can book the band on its own, or with the PA and lighting supplied. Within 50km of Sydney is straightforward; further out is arranged when you enquire.
