Workin' Overtime is a cover band for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Workin' Overtime have been playing South Australian rooms since the 90s, and the repertoire stretches from the 50s to whatever charted last year. Classic rock, modern country, rockabilly and rock and roll, plus the party songs everyone already knows. Layered vocal harmonies are the thing people mention most, along with the way the band talks to a crowd between songs. You'll hear Slim Dusty and The Angels in the same set as Meghan Trainor and Blink-182. They work hotels and bars, festivals, weddings and social club nights, and they scale up for outdoor events too, rodeos, race days, car rallies and fairs included. The crew brings and sets up the band's own gear, and they're happy to advise on stage space and power.
Watch
The show
Workin' Overtime have been at this since the 90s, and the repertoire runs from the 50s to now across a lot of genres. The two things people bring up afterwards are the layered vocal harmonies and the way the band talks to a crowd between songs. That rapport is what keeps a room with them rather than just near them.
On the day
The crew usually supplies and sets up everything the band needs to play. What's left is the venue side of it: the stage or performance area, mains power, and cover if you're outdoors. They'd rather work those details out with you than find them on the day, and they're happy to give guidance if you're not sure what your site can handle. Events range from small and intimate up to outdoor festivals, rodeos, fairs, race days and car rallies, and each one asks for something different.
