About
Anthony Sprague is a singer for hire in Bundaberg Central, QLD.
Busking is a hard school, and it shows in Anthony Sprague's sets: songs picked because they hold an audience, not because they fill time. The core is 90s and 2000s pop and alternative, think Chasing Cars, Time of Your Life, Unwell, Better Man and Blow Up the Pokies, alongside Aussie staples like Scar and Riptide, plus a handful of originals. It's an easygoing solo acoustic show suited to pubs and relaxed events around Bundaberg. Access to power and a bit of cover is all the setup needs.

The show
Anthony learned this on the street, where you hold a crowd or you don't, and the setlist reflects it. Chasing Cars, Time of Your Life, Unwell, Better Man, Blow Up the Pokies, Scar, Riptide. Nineties and two-thousands pop and alternative with a few of his own songs mixed through. It's a relaxed solo acoustic show rather than a big production, which is why it works so well in a pub or an afternoon that isn't trying to be an event.
On the day
Access to power is the main thing, plus somewhere undercover to play. Anthony brings his own gear otherwise, so it's a short conversation. He's working towards a battery powered rig, but for now assume a power point needs to be within reach of wherever you want him.
