About
Chicka is a singer for hire in Kurri Kurri, NSW.
Kurri Kurri based, and it's really three acts in one. Solo, Chicka covers everything from mellow to full pub rock. In a duo with Tony Rees, it's Duallis, with audience interaction and the option of a stripped back total acoustic show at a lower rate. Then there's SOS, Sultans of Surf, doing surf instrumentals from The Shadows, The Atlantics and The Beach Boys. The song list stretches from Pearly Shells and Pencil Thin Moustache to Patience and Born To Be Wild, with Sultans of Swing, some Travelling Wilburys, a bit of Hendrix and a few originals. Lights, PA and instruments all come along.
The show
Duallis is the duo, Chicka alongside Tony Rees, and audience interaction is a big part of it. They talk to the room, take it where it wants to go, and don't just work through a list with their eyes closed. There's a fully acoustic version too if you want something that sits underneath conversation rather than over the top of it. The songs stretch a long way: Pearly Shells, Pencil Thin Moustache, Patience, Born To Be Wild, Sultans of Swing, some Travelling Wilburys, a bit of Hendrix, plus a few originals of their own.
On the day
Everything arrives with them. Lights, PA, instruments, the lot, loaded in and set up without anyone at your venue needing to find gear or chase a hire company. Your side of it is a space to play in and power to run the rig, and that's the end of the list. Worth telling them in advance if the load-in involves stairs.
