Kane Maher

Kane Maher can start the afternoon with quiet acoustic songs and finish with the whole bar singing, and he'll take requests along the way. The Brisbane musician plays guitar and sings, with a live looping option that builds percussion, harmonies and extra parts in real time, or a duo that adds a drummer. Aussie rock is the heart of the list: Cold Chisel, Powderfinger, Hoodoo Gurus, Midnight Oil, Icehouse, The Screaming Jets and Crowded House among many more. Sets run from a single 45 minutes to several. He brings his own PA, microphone, guitar and pedalboard, and needs a flat area of about 2 by 2 metres, cover from the weather and one or two power points within 10 metres. Setting up and packing down take about 30 minutes each. His public liability cover is current, and bookings anywhere in the country are welcome.
