CAMPSITE GIGS SHARE LOVE OF MUSIC

MUSICIAN PROFILE: TAM & ADE

Nestled beneath towering gums alongside a tranquil lake, music drift s across the water and meanders throughout the valley to relaxed holiday makers, kicking back alongside campfires and settling down for a night of entertainment. This is a lifestyle choice for musical duo Tam and Ade as they travel the countryside playing gigs in regional areas. Tamara and Adrian Williams are no strangers to entertaining and have an extensive repertoire of more than three hundred songs from sweet melodies to rock classics, giving them the ability to adapt their performance to any occasion. With Ade’s multiple musical disciplines and Tam’s incredible vocal range,

the down-to-earth couple started their musical career in Emerald before moving to Hervey Bay. From heavy metal to gospel church bands, their history in music has covered a wide range of genres, sometimes converting rock songs to heart-felt acoustic versions as they add their own unique twist. Adrian also writes originals with Tamara’s rich vocal variety in mind and these tracks are peppered throughout their performance as they belt out songs at markets and events around the region.
