Engaging solo performances of acoustic covers and/or originals for your events, conferences, and live music needs. I am a seasoned professional, flexible to your needs, and can take on board requests, covering popular rock classics, Aussie and Canadian pub favourites, folk rock, celtic rock, and great sing-along classics (bah, bah, bah ...). Additionally, I am an award-winning singer-songwriter and producer with engaging and inspiring original songs about life, our journey, and a curated collection of personalities and people, I've met along the way. We can do it - let's chat!

A chilled, relaxing acoustic vibe that adds quality and ambience to your venue event but when needed, I can pick things up and entertain with a whole range of classic favourites. For festivals and live events requiring original music, I have a large catalogue of original songs, including award winning songs in the acoustic singer songwriter, americana, folk rock and country vibe. I have performed in venues and events for 10 people to 10,000 including significant band and orchestral symphony collaborations. My music, including globally distributed instrumental/ambient is available in the usual places, Soundcloud, Reverbnation, iTunes and Spotify.
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Bill Wade Live.
Self-sufficient for smaller venues but patching into a PA system is easy and preferable where more volume is needed in larger spaces and for crowds exceeding 50. Generally, I perform with 2 x acoustic electrics (Taylor and Custom surf guitar) harmonica, and a modest amount of the usual gear and pedals. When required, e.g., wedding events, dancing required, I provide appropriate backing tracks to pick up the energy and get the crowd going.
Common Favourites:
Riptide, Wagon Wheel, Copperhead Road, Flame Trees, Free Falling, Chasing Cars, Heart of Gold, 3 am, Reckless, No Secrets, The Weight, Working Class Man, To Her Door, Sunsets, Hotel California, Landslide, Sweet Caroline, Country Roads, and originals, Daddy's Guns, Hurricane, If This Guitar Could Talk, and Simpleman (see video above).
