Based in Sydney, New South Wales Victoria - Public show The Foundry616 Jazz Club Photo of Nesian Melody Band Nesian Melody Band "Aww bro thank you so much to you and your talented band for playing at our wedding. Everyone enjoyed it so much and kept asking what’s the name of your band😅" Based in Melbourne, Victoria (443 miles from Sydney) Misela Lolopa - Wedding Photo of STATIC SPACE - Motown music, Tribute show STATIC SPACE - Motown music, Tribute show "The Motown show hosted by STATIC SPACE was an absolute delight! From the moment the first song started playing, the energy in the room was electric. The band's renditions of classic Motown hits had everyone dancing and singing along. The vocals were spot on, capturing the soulful spirit of the original recordings. It was a true celebration of the iconic sound of Motown, and the audience was captivated from start to finish. I can't recommend this show enough - it's a must-see for any fan of great music and an unforgettable live experience." - AV Lifeline Production Company" Based in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa (6,842 miles from Sydney) AV Lifeline, Productions - Grandwest, Roxy Revue Theatre Photo of Courus Courus "Courus is A M A Z I N G!!! They performed at my big wedding day and they could not have made my day any more perfect.... The singing and the background playing was everything 💕 I did not give much instruction and yet they exceeded my expectations and our guests at the venue were very impressed. Some even thought that it was a CD that was playing until they realized it was the band that played the WHOLE day... I can't stop fussing about this band and they can play anything you wish them to... Thank you Courus for making my day special 🌼🌸🧡 I'd use you over and over again!! 💛" Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa (6,860 miles from Sydney) Heather Felix - Wedding Photo of Jon Gibson Jon Gibson "Michael Courville. Mar 6, 2022 2:01 AM Hi Jon, been a fan of yours for years. The other night while I was researching something on kickstarter a rap song came to me. I am not a song writer I am an Architect, Artist, Poet, Cartoonist and father of 5 great kids and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. I am excited that you are getting back to your mission of music with a message." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States (7,726 miles from Sydney) Michael Courville - Jon Gibson
