About
Alexis Star is a singer-songwriter for hire in Gold Coast, QLD.
Folk, indie, pop and rock covers from the 70s through to now, plus a stack of her own songs. Alexis Star has spent two decades on stage as a solo acoustic artist and backup vocalist, and released two albums of originals under the name Rachel Laing. Expect anything from Fleetwood Mac and Elvis to Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy and Alanis Morissette, reworked in her own way. In 2018 she packed a van and took the show around the country, playing festivals, venues and private events along the way. She can perform solo, or add DJ sets to carry a wedding from ceremony through to the end of the night. And outdoor events without power aren't a problem; her rig runs self-powered for up to six hours.
Watch
The show
Once you book, a booking sheet comes through by email to fill in and send back. The performance itself is built around your occasion, at a volume that suits the room rather than fighting it, and she watches the levels all night, lifting or easing them as the energy shifts. Alexis is straightforward about who she is. She doesn't wear makeup, tends towards a comfortable bohemian style and often plays barefoot, so let her know your dress code when you book. She'll travel a long way for a gig, quoting travel time and any accommodation where the distance runs past about 111km.
On the day
Indoors, she needs easy access to power. Outdoors is where it gets useful: her rig runs self-powered for up to 6 hours, so a paddock, a beach or a backyard with no socket in reach is no obstacle.
Performance options
Solo bookings cover birthdays, corporate events, functions, restaurants, cafes and weddings. There's also a solo and DJ option, which is the useful one for a wedding: ceremony plus canapes, ceremony straight through to reception, or the whole night from start to finish. If none of those quite fit, she'll build a package around what you actually need.
