Hit Parade

Rich harmonies, lush arrangements, stylish presentation and a ever-popular and changing set list of hits and classics, Hitparade have endeared themselves to Canberra audiences by delivering a professional and polished show from consistently performing over the last 28 years. Featuring male and female lead vocals, Hitparade cover 50 years of unforgettable classics, from Neil Diamond to Lady Ga Ga and deliver them in four part harmony with professionally written backing tracks. Hitparade are equally at home filling auditoriums with rock and pop or at smaller venues tailoring their sound and song choice to restaurants and cafes.

What sets Hitparade apart from the competition is their sheer enjoyment and commitment to delivering music that the audience knows and enjoys. 27 Years would suggest that they know how to do that and that they obviously love what they do. This is clear from watching a Hitparade show. They are great friends and enjoy the show themselves just as much as their audience.

With over 27 years of playing countless gigs, Hitparade have slowly put together a repertoire of music’s most loved songs and in doing so found a formula for success: play songs that they love and their audience wants to hear. Consequently, a typical Hitparade gig is filled with smiles and a bustling dance floor. With backgrounds in rock, original, musical theatre and pop, Hitparade are able to cover just about anything. They are requested to play Andrea Bocelli’s “ The Prayer “ just as often as they are requested to play Cold Chisels “ Khe Sahn “ and usually in the same show.

Along with high quality professional backing sequences, Hitparade only require a minimal amount of space for set-up, making it the perfect format for almost any event. With a small sound system the set-up process is quick, clean and very professional. The overall volume is controllable to your liking, for small rooms, Hitparade can play quieter than larger bands, whilst still having the ability to fill a larger room with sound if necessary. Each artist has over 25 years of performing experience and is dedicated to providing a quality, professional musical service.
