About
Kaz Davies is a musical duo for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Guitars, bass and vocal harmonies, with the groove doing most of the talking. Kaz Davies works out of Newcastle and covers a lot of ground: Latin, soul, Oz Rock and a fair bit of 1970s and 1980s material. The line-up flexes from solo to duo to trio depending on the room. The family side of the work is where things get interesting. Soft-sounding instruments get handed out to kids and grandparents alike, so the audience ends up playing along instead of just watching. That comes from real experience running early childhood group music classes, and it shows. Easy listening for the little ones, still enough substance for everyone else. Community gigs come with a full tower PA, mixing desk, amps and microphones.
The show
Guitars, bass and vocal harmonies, with the groove out front. The material moves through Latin, soul and Oz Rock, and the size of the act moves with the room too, since Kaz works solo, as a duo or as a trio depending on what you need. The family side is where it gets genuinely different. Soft-sounding instruments get handed around so kids and grandparents can play and sing along instead of sitting and watching. That comes out of running early childhood group music classes, and you can hear the experience in how it's pitched. Easy enough for the little ones. Still worth listening to for everyone else.
On the day
Community gigs come with the full kit: a tower PA, mixing desk, guitar amps and microphones, all brought along. The kid and family shows work differently, because the soft-sounding instruments get passed out to the audience and the whole family plays along, so allow room for people to move around rather than just sit.
