Need a band?
Capital Sound & Lighting supplies live music, solos, duos and live bands to venues in the Canberra, Yass Valley, and Southern Tablelands areas.
We can provide acoustic live music in your bar or dining area including:
- Solo acoustic performers
- Male and female acoustic live music duo
- Live bands for private functions and special events
Acoustic Solos
A solo act is a very cost-effective option for offering live music without the expense and complications of a full band. It is best suited to small to medium size pubs, hotels and bars on Thursday and Friday nights where patronage does not justify a live band.
For large venues, a solo act on any weeknight will often serve as a drawcard to increase general patronage and total spend on these nights. In the warmer months, a solo act is well suited to outdoor dining and garden areas on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to create an atmosphere that your guests will remember.
A typical booking of a solo act is for three hours with a ten minute set break each hour. Depending on the engagement needs of the audience and the time of day, song choice is usually quieter, groove-based acoustic tracks in earlier sets, with faster dance-based tracks in later timeslots.

Duo Acts
Duo Acts are a highly popular optional extra with our wedding packages for special songs during the cermony or reception. A duo is also highly recommended for special functions such as milestone birthdays and anniversaries where a special song is to be performed with a high degree of quality and significance.
Acoustic duo acts are available for weddings and special functions. Duos offer an 'unplugged' format as a cost-effective alternative to a live band while still being able to cater for the needs of a more demanding audience and larger performance space.

Live Bands
Live bands are popular with wedding receptions, corporate functions, charity fundraisers and on Friday and Saturday nights at hotels, bars and clubs. Live bands are best suited to special events that engage the audience in dancing, such as 21st birthday parties, office Christmas parties, milestone parties, weddings, corporate functions, awards ceremonies, and New Years Eve celebrations.
Combine a live band with our lighting services to give your event an outstanding appearance. Get everything from the same place with party lighting, wireless microphone systems for speeches, lapel microphones and lecterns for presentations, and Mobile DJ for afterward late into the night.
Contact us for recommendations on solo, duo, live bands in a variety of styles including rock, dance party, folk, country, blues and jazz.
