Based in Surfers Paradise · Travels up to 300km
About this act
Thirty years of folk festivals, markets and local bars have shaped Rob Saunders into a storyteller first. He plays acoustic folk, blues harp and Americana out of Surfers Paradise, paying his dues to the great singers and songwriters of the sixties, seventies and eighties. Neil Young runs deep through the set, with Heart of Gold, Harvest Moon, Like a Hurricane and Cortez the Killer, alongside Dylan, CCR, Cat Stevens, JJ Cale and Van Morrison. The show moves between foot-tapping folk rock and reflective ballads, with humour in the gaps. He can bring a battery or mains PA for smaller gigs up to about 200 people, and can scale up to a four piece with a drum kit provided. He's registered with Folk Alliance Australia and licensed to busk by Gold Coast Council.
