West Memphis
NSW
Artist Bio
Have you ever wondered why Memphis is mentioned in over 1000 songs? It’s because it’s been the centre of Rock and Soul for nearly a century. Our band West Memphis, bring fantastic Rock and Soul classics to your venue, performed by seasoned musicians with that wonderful soulful sound of our namesake city.
From Linda Ronstadt to Ray Charles, Etta, Orbison, Cash, Credence….you get the vibe.
We pride ourselves on our consistent sound quality, from the powerful vocals of Sue and Mimmo, to our fabulous lead guitarist Dave and rhythmic drummer John, with great keys and bass, all live with no need for recorded backups.
Our audiences love us, or at least that’s what their telling us, and if they are not up dancing, their vibing or singing along to our songs. We keep the volume just right.
We’re currently spreading the love at a variety of venues in Sydney– from craft breweries to pubs to many RSL clubs, and the venues are happy.
We’re known for our great sound and different repertoire (definitely not the same old stuff). Let your venue be the next one to experience the amazing sound of West Memphis!
A word on backing tracks…
A lot of ‘covers bands’ use backing tracks for various reasons. West Memphis don’t use any backing tracks as we prefer the feel of a live band.
Tempos can change in a song and sometimes you need to improvise an ending and yes – we make mistakes as all musicians do. We’re keeping it real because we believe that music should be performed live – as it was intended!
Imagine the pressure on bands in the 60s that didnt even have multi-tracks!
It’s a challenge but it’s very rewarding in the end.
West Memphis are available for all private functions and events, including weddings, birthday parties, corporate events and more!
On stage we’re having a great time – we look the part – dress the part and we’re always interacting with our audience.
We’re professional, easy to work with and we customise our setlist to the venue as needed depending on the crowd and the needs of the venue.
We know your guests won’t want to leave the dance floor!
