Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,351 miles from Akaroa) 15th September 2026 Marie - Private wedding Photo of Vale Acoustic Vale Acoustic "We cannot thank Matt and Steve enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. From start to finish, they were incredible, professional, fun, and so in tune with the energy of the room. Their live performances were absolutely beautiful and added such a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. And when it was time to hit the dance floor, they had everyone up and celebrating all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. Steve and Matt helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re looking for musicians who genuinely care and know how to bring the perfect vibe to your day these are your guys!"

He is such a brilliant guitarist! I highly recommend Brendan's gigs." Based in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia (1,362 miles from Akaroa) Jen Photo of Ivan Beecroft music Ivan Beecroft music "Huffington post Review by Randy Radic From the Land Down Under, where “women glow and men thunder,” comes Ivan Beecroft, who has a new single out, called “Believe.” It’s the first release from his forthcoming album. “Believe” is a song about the complexities of human relationships. Ivan’s music and lyrics are inspired by his time as a steelworker, a vocation that opened his eyes and his conscience to what was going on around him. Turning to music was his way of coping with the inequities of life. Stylistically, Ivan writes and sings retro rock from the 1990s, with heavy influences from grunge pop music. And if you listen closely to “Believe,” you can hear just a hint of Pearl Jam in the tune. The way Ivan phrases smacks of Eddie Vedder, as does the melody. Still, the resemblances are nuanced and not overt or obvious. That being said, the song also reminds, because of the piano, of Billy Joel. It should be noted that Ivan plays all the instruments on the song: drums, bass, guitars, piano and the synth. In addition, he produced, mixed and mastered the song. In other words, Ivan is multi-talented and definitely has an ear for what works and what doesn’t. “Believe” begins with a snappy drum beat, then the piano jumps in and the melody is set. The melody is strong and rides on the wave provided by the piano; the drums carry the beat well, emphasizing the snare which pops with gusto."

He is extremely talented, has huge repertoire of songs form around the world and plays many Instruments. The seniors in our programs always enjoy his entrainment as he brings lots of energy and enthusiasm into his shows. No one can stay immune to his uplifting music and the audience joins him in sing along and dancing to the beautiful tunes he plays on his accordion."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for singer / songwriters on Gig Heaven is $650, with rates from $220 to $2,000+. Cost varies based on the artist's experience, set duration and whether the performance is solo acoustic or includes looping, additional instruments or backing tracks. The authentic, personal style of a singer-songwriter creates a distinctive atmosphere for intimate events.

The singer / songwriters for hire perform their own original songs, often in an acoustic or stripped-back style. Many also cover well-known songs, giving them a unique personal arrangement. This creates a distinctive, intimate performance that cannot be heard anywhere else.

Hiring singer / songwriters suits a wide range of events including weddings, private parties, corporate events, restaurant entertainment, festivals and intimate gatherings. The personal, authentic style of a singer-songwriter creates a warm, engaging atmosphere.

Many singer / songwriters offer custom songwriting services, creating an original song for a wedding, anniversary, corporate event or special occasion. This makes a unique and memorable gift or centrepiece for the celebration. Gig Heaven recommends contacting the artist well in advance for custom commissions.

Many singer / songwriters blend their original material with acoustic covers of well-known songs. This mix works well at events where guests want both familiar favourites and something fresh. For the best experience, check each artist's repertoire on their profile.
