About
SDK Music is a singer for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Shane has played weddings, corporate events and celebrations at AAMI Park, Sofitel Melbourne, Caulfield Racecourse and Stones of the Yarra Valley. He works solo on vocals and guitar, and can bring in a duo with keys or a trio adding bass and drums. The song list is the sort people sing along to without being asked: Stand By Me, Valerie, Perfect, Isn't She Lovely, Burn, All Of Me, Crazy. Where he really earns his keep is the handover, playing soft acoustic music through dinner then switching to a DJ set to finish the night, which saves booking two acts. All he needs is a power point and reasonably flat ground. Melbourne based.
Watch
The show
Shane reads where the night is up to. Quiet acoustic through the meal, warmer once plates are cleared, then well known songs with a bit more push behind them. The part people book him for is the swap: when the live playing stops he goes straight to a DJ set, so the room never has to sit through an awkward gap while one act packs up and another loads in. You get one person for the whole evening.
On the day
A power point and a patch of reasonably flat ground to stand on. Shane isn't fussy about much else.
Performance options
Solo is vocals and guitar. The duo adds keys. The trio brings in bass and drums alongside the keys. And any of those three can be followed by a DJ set to close out the night, which is far and away the most requested option, because it covers dinner and dancing without a second booking.
