The act
Trained tenor, guitar and ukulele, and a repertoire that runs from the 50s to now. Daniel James sings Elvis, John Denver and musical theatre, and does full Elvis performances in character and costume when that's what the event calls for. Can't Help Falling In Love, Fly Me To The Moon, Country Roads, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace and a long list beside them. He's a registered marriage celebrant as well, so a wedding can have the same person officiating and singing, and he covers funerals too. Santa and Easter Bunny appearances are on the list. Theatre, TV and film work behind him. He carries a portable battery powered PA, which means outdoor ceremonies with no power are no trouble. Melbourne based.

Good to know
What to expect
Two jobs in one person, which solves a real problem for a lot of couples. Daniel is a trained tenor who sings with guitar and ukulele across everything from the 50s to now, and he's also a registered marriage celebrant. So the same person can conduct your ceremony and then sing at it. He does funerals as well, and full Elvis performances in character and costume when the occasion suits. Theatre, television and film work sits behind the voice.
On the day
His PA is portable and runs on battery, which solves the problem that catches a lot of outdoor ceremonies. No power at the site is genuinely fine. He brings guitar and ukulele with him, so nothing needs hiring in, and the same rig covers the singing and any spoken parts of a ceremony or a funeral service.
Set List
The Elvis material covers Can't Help Falling In Love, Return To Sender, Love Me Tender and Always On My Mind. Beyond that it spreads wide. Sweet Caroline, Rock Around The Clock, April Sun In Cuba and Don't Stop for the livelier end. Fly Me To The Moon, All Of Me, Unchained Melody, Blue Bayou and Ain't Misbehavin' for the smoother side. Thinking Out Loud and Bad Habits from Ed Sheeran. Then Take Me Home Country Roads and Annie's Song, Green Green Grass Of Home, Yesterday, Angels, Free Fallin', I Can See Clearly Now, and for a ceremony or a funeral, Amazing Grace, Morning Has Broken, Hallelujah and Father And Son. Plenty more sit behind those.
