What people said after

Rated 5.0

You and your team made my daughter's wedding perfect. From first message to last song, you were amazing.

Jen, Wedding

His music was sensational and was everything we had hoped for. We highly recommend Shane Kerr Music!

Jack & Jade, Wedding

Very professional and great communication. His performance was on point and we couldn't be happier!

Mitchell & Lucy, Wedding

Amazing, super talented musician! We highly recommend Shane Kerr for your wedding music. He has been easy to work with, very affordable and an all round good bloke. No song is too hard for Shane to learn. Thanks for making our day so special!

Jess & Dan, Wedding

Shane is very friendly and easy to deal with. Knowing he had to travel 2.5 hours for this performance, you can tell how passionate he is, and it all showed when he sang. Our residents here had a wonderful night with the country music he provided. Thank you, Shane.

Linh, Residents' night

Thirty-odd years of reading rooms

People don't remember the setlist. They remember how the room felt.

They remember the song that made their mum cry, the moment the dance floor finally let go, the Tuesday night at the pub that somehow became the best night of the month.

Shane grew up in a small village, got his first guitar at 17 and has been singing since 1989. More than a thousand shows and hundreds of weddings later, he is based in Cowra and plays classic, country and contemporary covers at weddings, pub gigs, corporate nights and community fundraisers across Central West NSW.

What I actually specialise in is reading people. Knowing when to lift the energy, when to pull it back, when to throw in the song nobody requested but everybody needed.

    Musicians Don’t Really Get Sick Days

    For working musicians, getting sick can mean more than feeling ordinary for a few days. When your voice is your job, even a cold can cost gigs...
