WARNING! Booking Nate Daniels may cause the following symptoms: excessive energy, uncontrollable dancing, sweating, nostalgic trances and smiling which may last for days. If symptoms persist, book him again!
Incredibly engaging and a genuine entertainer, Nate has performed for most of his life (now gigging 15 years and counting) so it's no surprise he's developed a knack for choosing the right music for the right mood.
With a comforting sense of humour and a wide variety of classics and sing alongs from the 60s-2010s (plus a few you would never expect) he creates the atmosphere you need, from chilling in the background to being the life of the party.
When you book Nate as a duo or band he hires from a pool of professional players, so no matter who's joining him you will always get Nate's amazing vocals & guitar, massive song list, welcoming vibe and his experience in knowing just the right music for the right mood.
= areas covered (up to 100 miles)
= free travel (up to 50 miles)
Nate is always adding new songs to his list, contact him for the most current song list.
You can also choose your own live playlist from what he knows, ask about this in your correspondence.

Playing area:
· A suitable flat space of at least 2m² (solo/duo) and 4m x 2m (band) which must be indoors or under proper cover away from direct sun. Outdoors, temporary gazebos are acceptable only if they are large/sturdy and have side coverings available.
· For the safety of all guests and band members, under no circumstances will the equipment be set up in a location that could potentially be rained on, regardless of the weather forecast.
· A minimum of one double outlet of dedicated 240V mains power readily available and easily accessible to stage area. Generators are acceptable only if there is no other option.
· The performer/s will be set up at one location. Secondary locations can be negotiated and will incur an additional fee relative to the amount of extra set up/pack up of equipment.
If available: best place to load in, the location of the stage area within the venue, any noise limits or curfews.
All sound and lighting equipment hire and operation are provided in your booking.
Yes, you can hire my P.A. & lighting equipment by itself (at a cheaper rate and is normally used before or after the live performance).
I can choose suitable background music, or plug in your own phone/MP3 to use your favourite playlists and be your own DJ!
Between one and six hour bookings are available.
Bookings begin when the music first starts and end when the music last finishes.
For any time not including live performance (e.g. an hour or two between a wedding ceremony and the later reception) background music will be played and will be charged at a cheaper rate.
My favourite event so far was performing at a private birthday party inside the Brisbane City Hall.
I provide live music for corporate events, awards ceremonies, office & birthday parties, weddings and any other kind of function.
At each event I tailor my crowd interaction and musical performance to suit an evolving atmosphere from relaxed background to a high energy dance floor with a great sense of humour and a wide range of classic music from the 60s to now (and my list is always growing!).
I've been performing regularly for 15 years and always receive positive feedback, you can expect the utmost politeness and professionalism from myself and any performers under my employment.
Too many to count.
Standard arrival time is up to one hour before the music starts (depending on the type of event).
Standard sets are roughly 45 mins each.
I'm always happy to work with you to line up my breaks with speeches, award presentations etc to make sure you get your best value for money.
I'm happy performing outdoors provided there is proper cover out of direct sun (i.e. permanent structure, temporary gazebos are acceptable provided they are large/sturdy and have side coverings).
For the safety of all guests and band members, under no circumstances will the equipment be set up in a location that could potentially be rained on, regardless of the weather forecast.
Battery-powered speakers are available for small and/or background vibes, otherwise generators are acceptable only if there is no other option for power.
You have the option to choose your own live playlist from my song list! Simply highlight your favourites and send the file back to me via email or print out your own highlighted copy and give it to me on the day.
If you would like any specific songs played that are not already on my list (e.g. for first dance, bouquet toss, break music etc.) I can organise to have the files ready to play through the system, or I can connect your phone/MP3 into my system on the day (via aux/headphone cable + I have adapters for Android & iPhone).
Here are two reviews from recent clients.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jane's Corporate Event in Woolloongabba, Sep 2023
Nate was absolutely fantastic! I could not recommend him highly enough. The booking process was seamless and he was prompt and extremely professional. Nate chose songs which were entirely appropriate for our guests and age ranges. Everyone at the event commented on how great the music was. Be sure to book Nate for your next event - you won't be disappointed!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bob's Wedding in Woolloongabba, Brisbane, May 2025
Nate Daniels was everything that we expected from reading his excellent reviews and profile. Professional, friendly and an absolute dream to work with. He needed no managing, special attention or assistance getting the show on the road during a stressful time. My only regret is that we didn't get to sit down and listen to more of his music, as we were busy getting married. We would love to book Nate again for a future function.
Depending on your needs I can perform:
· Solo (guitar & singing)
· Duo (me + another performer on drums, percussion, piano, bass or guitar)
· Band (me + drums & bass + more depending on your budget)
· And you can hire my P.A. & lighting equipment by itself (at a cheaper rate) where I can choose suitable background music, or perfect for playlists where you can be your own DJ!
You can also choose a combination of the above to suit your needs and budget (for example: two hours solo + two hours band or three hours solo + two hours "Be Your Own DJ" etc).
