Jason Towers is a singer for hire in Gold Coast, QLD.
Over 20 years of singing and playing guitar on the Gold Coast, and Jason Towers still performs most songs in their original key, arranged the way they were recorded. That's a deliberate choice, and audiences notice. The repertoire covers fifty years of classic hits across several genres, so the same act can do a quiet chillout session, music to dine by, or a night where the crowd wants to go hard. Special requests are fine. He works the Gold Coast, Brisbane and surrounds, and will travel interstate. A 240v outlet, roughly 2m x 3m of stage, and cover overhead if you're outside.
Watch
The show
You get a solo guitarist and singer with more than twenty years of Gold Coast rooms behind him, and the detail work that comes with that. Jason Towers keeps most songs in the original key and arranged the way you know them from the record, which is a deliberate choice and one people pick up on quickly. The set follows the night: quiet through the early hours, dinner music when food is out, harder later if the crowd wants it. Requests are welcome. Fifty years of hits sit in the repertoire across a few genres, so there's usually something for whoever is in the room. He covers the Gold Coast and Brisbane, and will travel interstate.
On the day
One 240v outlet is all the power he needs. For space, aim for a stage or performance area of about two metres by three, which is comfortable rather than tight. Outdoor bookings need proper cover overhead, since the gear can't take rain or long stretches of direct sun. Sort the cover with your venue before the day and there's nothing else to organise.
