About
Chris Venn is a singer for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Chris Venn is a singer-songwriter based in the Blue Mountains who plays both electric and acoustic guitar, and he builds his sets with looping, vocal harmony and his own pre-recorded parts. That last bit gives him room to play proper lead guitar over the top, which most solo acts can't do. The list mixes popular, classic and modern hits with his originals: Come Together, A Whiter Shade of Pale, Great Southern Land, Golden Brown, Fields of Gold, Losing My Religion, Mad World. Sets get shaped to the event, laid back or pushed towards rock and dance. Corporate events, private functions, weddings, festivals and clubs. He needs an hour to set up and venue access for a wheeled equipment trolley. Public liability insurance is in place.
The show
The set gets built for the room. Chris Venn will push it towards rock and dance or pull it back to something laid back depending on what your event actually is, and he works that out with you rather than guessing. He plays electric and acoustic guitar, uses looping and vocal harmony, and runs his own pre-recorded parts underneath so he can play proper lead guitar over the top. That's the bit most solo acts can't do. The list mixes popular, classic and modern hits with his own songs: Come Together, A Whiter Shade of Pale, Great Southern Land, Golden Brown, Fields of Gold, Losing My Religion, Mad World.
On the day
One hour of setup time before the start. He wheels his gear in on a trolley, so venue access needs to work for that. If there are stairs or a long carry from the loading area, tell him when you book.
