Singer, songwriter and guitar player, Chad Wenzel, plays music from the crossroads of rock and country music, blended with folk from yesterday and today - fingerstyle acoustic guitar rhythms, lyrics that will resonate in your soul, and melodies that captivate the heart.
In addition to original songs, my live repertoire contains an large, eclectic mix of pop/rock/folk cover songs - some common, some that are great songs, but lesser known. I have lots of songs from contemporary Canadian artists such as Donovan Woods, Great Big Sea, Joel Plaskett, William Prince, Forest Blakk, and classic Canadian anthems by the likes of Stan Rogers, Ron Hynes and more. Sets can be tailored to suit your event by genre, artist, or song theme.
What can you expect? If you can imagine seeing a James Taylor, Passenger or Noah Kahan live - but solo in a small venue, then you get the idea! Acoustic guitar and vocals, sometimes mixed in with drum/bass/guitar loops to make a bigger sound when appropriate. Ideal for weddings, anniversaries or engagements (lots of love songs!), but equally comfortable belting out Irish/East-coast ballads and drinking songs, or classics like Sweet Caroline or Brown Eyed Girl that will have the audience singing along.
= areas covered (up to 325 miles)
= free travel (up to 65 miles)
The only requirement I have is electrical. Let me know the size and location and I will bring along an appropriate audio system. Totally self-sufficient, but if you have a stage/sound system/sound person then that's great too - I love plug and play shows! I have even done solo acoustic shows (e.g,. on a cottage dock, around a campfire) and have a small battery pack and speaker for support.
Please provide directions to the venue, along with relevant parking and load-in/out information.
We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs. Lighting available on request (extra cost)
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
