Guitar, keyboard, ukulele and a voice that carries them. Kieran Allen builds his Adelaide sets around songs that shaped his own listening, which is why a night can move from Crowded House to Blink 182 to a John Farnham singalong without feeling like a jukebox on shuffle. Aussie material sits at the heart of it. Paul Kelly, The Angels, Alex Lloyd, Eskimo Joe, The Whitlams, then something newer like Shaboozey or George Ezra when the room wants it. He turns up self-sufficient with instruments, microphones and PA, so all he needs is a power point. The tone stays relaxed, the playing stays tidy. Good for pubs, weddings and any function where the music should be more than background.

Good to know
What to expect
No two hours of a Kieran Allen booking sound quite the same. He moves between guitar, keyboard and ukulele, and the songs shift with them, so a set can wander from something everybody in the room grew up on to a newer tune the younger half recognises. The point is range, and the mood he keeps while working through it stays light rather than earnest. Adelaide pubs, weddings and functions all get the same approach: play well, keep it enjoyable, read what the room wants next.
On the day
Show Kieran Allen where the power point is and the rest is his problem, not yours. Instruments, microphones and the PA all travel with him, so there's no sound hire to arrange and no gear list to chase up with your venue beforehand. Leave him a bit of clear floor near that power point and he'll have himself set up without any fuss.
