Bill Wade Live
Solo · Based in Hervey Bay · Travels up to 300km
About this act
Bill Wade has played to ten people and to ten thousand, including work alongside bands and symphony orchestras. Solo, it's two acoustic electrics, a Taylor and a custom surf guitar, harmonica and a modest pedal setup. He'll sit in a relaxed corner of the room with Landslide, Flame Trees, Heart of Gold and The Weight, then lift it when the night wants lifting, with backing tracks ready if there's dancing. He's an award-winning songwriter too, and his originals sit in the americana, folk rock and country space. If This Guitar Could Talk took an Australian Songwriter Award for country. He's self-sufficient in smaller rooms and patches into a PA when the crowd goes past fifty. A qualified audio engineer, with Working With Children clearance and NDIS certification for family and special needs events. Based in Hervey Bay.
