Bio
Wayne’s versatility as a performer sees him at ease with ensembles or solo, delving deep into soul, jazz, and rock to combine these genres with his distinctive voice, style, and performance.
Fronting rock bands across Australia since he was 16, Wayne’s been called on by some of Australia’s most iconic bands to front their gigs when they’ve been missing a lead singer.
His initiation into the world of music began in Geelong supporting Australia’s finest touring bands (AC/DC, Ayers Rock, Little River Band, Buffalo, Cold Chisel, Dragon, to name but a few). Since then he has played thousands of gigs all over Australia, including opening for blues greats Robert Cray, Albert Collins, Canned Heat, BB King, Chris Cain, and Buddy Guy.
His own bands have included Black Cat Moan, soul band Drybones, as well as front man for legends Ron & Jeff King (Foreday Riders) and young guitar prodigy, Nathan Cavalleri.
His most recent appointment (2020) is Director of the Tides of Welcome choir, a community-based choir in Queenscliff, Victoria.
