About
Jaymi Raine Music is a singer-songwriter for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Jaymi is a singer and songwriter with more than 15 years of professional work behind her, playing piano and guitar and pulling in other musicians when the arrangement calls for it. The repertoire runs from the 1950s to now, and the choices are deliberate: rather than the songs everyone has heard a hundred times, she picks the lesser-played tracks by artists you know. Selena Gomez, Adele, Beyonce, Dua Lipa and Portugal The Man sit alongside older material. Setlists can be built around your own requests. As a duo they fit into about 2.5 by 2.5 metres and bring the full sound system, mixing desk and microphones, with roughly an hour to set up and half that to pack down. All they need is a power point nearby. Based in Adelaide.
The show
Fifteen years of professional work sits behind Jaymi's voice, and she plays piano and guitar with other musicians brought in when an arrangement wants them. The material stretches from the 1950s to now, upbeat things and ballads both, and your own favourites can go into the set list. Standard shape is 45 minutes then a break, though at weddings the breaks get moved around speeches and formalities rather than the other way round. If someone in your party wants to sing, she'll accompany them or run a backing track. She's also put together DJ sets for weddings and corporate nights. Adelaide Fringe, the Festival Theatre, the Mayfair, Stamford Grand, Adelaide Town Hall and the Regal are all on her list.
On the day
The duo squeezes into about 2.5 metres by 2.5, with speakers placed sensibly around that. They bring the whole sound system: speakers, mixing desk, microphones, leads, all of it. Setting up and sound checking takes around an hour, and packing down about half that, so factor that into your run sheet. A power point within reach is the one non-negotiable.
