Tess Shore

Tess Shore plays acoustic guitar and builds the rest live, with a stomp box, rhythmic drums and looping, so one performer carries a much bigger sound. After 25 years of playing, Tess reads a mixed crowd well, moving between party songs and slower, laid-back ones as the night needs. Material comes from the 60s through the 90s, with pop, oldies and country in the mix. Send special requests before the function and every effort goes into playing them, and requests on the night work too if they fit those styles. A duo line-up is available. Tess needs an undercover spot with power, and a small stage helps in a busy venue. A few coloured stage lights come along, though outdoor gigs need other lighting. Tess holds public liability cover and will travel up to 100 km from Southbank.
