Arvidson Music is a singer for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Daniel Arvidson is a Newcastle singer and guitarist covering everything from Cold Chisel and The Eagles through to Dua Lipa and Bruno Mars. Soft ballads early, acoustic singalongs as the night warms up, then full production dance sets: Uptown Funk, Mr Brightside, Shake It Off, Wagon Wheel. Connecting with the crowd is the whole point of the act, and the set list bends to whatever the room gives back. Setup needs a standard power point and 30 to 60 minutes, plus shelter if the gig's outdoors in wet weather.

The show
The night has a shape to it. Soft ballads early while people are eating and talking, acoustic singalongs once the room loosens up, then a full production dance set that pushes into Uptown Funk, Mr Brightside, Shake It Off and Wagon Wheel. Daniel covers a lot of ground to get there, Cold Chisel and The Eagles through to Dua Lipa and Bruno Mars. He watches what the crowd gives back and bends the set list to match, which is really the whole trick of a solo gig.
On the day
A standard power outlet is all the venue has to provide. Allow between thirty minutes and an hour for setup before the start time, so factor that into whatever your run sheet says. If he's playing outdoors and the forecast looks wet, some shelter over the gear is essential.
