About
Hi I'm James. I'm the Owner, Creative Director & Drummer with The White Tree. I'm passionate about live music and developing experiential concepts for live events...which is what we offer with The White Tree. I love looking outside of the wedding industry to find artistic inspiration for our work. Some of my loves...I love Tarantino films, the ocean, ambitious people, Thai food, stylish cocktails & The Beatles.

FAQ
The White Tree Band is based in the CBD locations across Australia, but we travel far and wide. We do lots of wedding gigs in Byron Bay, Noosa, Hunter Valley, South Coast NSW, Yarra Valley, Orange and Mudgee…and many other rural locations around Australia. Travel is worked out on a per musician basis. Any location that is within 60 mins of the CBD has no associated travel fee. Beyond that, costs per musician are added to cover their travel time and petrol costs. Our booking managers can supply you with custom travel quotes when you notify them of your venue location. *Note, couples who get married very far from the CBD often opt for a smaller band size (say a 3, 4 or 5 piece) as this keeps the overall cost down.
It takes us approximately 45mins to fully set up and sound check the band. This additional time is not considered part of the 5 hour period and does not carry any additional cost. For example, if you book The White Tree Band for your wedding or corporate event which starts at 6pm and finishes at 11pm, we would arrive at 4:45pm – 5pm.
The White Tree Band’s prices include up to 5 hours attendance featuring 4 x 45min sets of live music, and background/”DJ” music on iPod controlled through our sound system during band breaks. Please note, the 4 x 45min set times can be adjusted to fit in with your specific running sheet – that is, the 180mins total playing time can be positioned however you like.
The 5 hour duration satisfies most wedding reception and corporate event durations as most venues work to 5 hour packages – usually 6pm to 11pm, or 7pm to 12am. If you would like the band at your reception for a period longer than 5 hours, that is of course fine but an additional cost may be involved.
If you would like The White Tree Band or DJs to perform at your wedding or corporate event, you will first need to check we are available – we do book out well in advance! If you would like to check out the band at a live gig prior to booking, you can attend one of our showcase gigs (no need to pre-book…just rock along!) Full details on our website: https://www.thewhitetreecreative.com/
Our online booking form requires you to fill out your contact details and select the band line up you would like. We are obviously on hand to help you with this decision. If you don’t know what you're after, then just enter a tentative product option for the enquiry and we can then discuss the options with you further.

Yes! We offer acoustic duos for corporate events and weddings alike. The word “acoustic” technically means un-amplified, but it has come to also describe a genre of music…particularly for weddings and events. Acoustic music is an appropriate style for the early/chilled stages of a function, when guests are sipping cocktails and wanting to chat. The music should add to the ambience here, not dominate. There’s the typical type of “acoustic music” such as Angus & Julia Stone, Jack Johnson and Cold Play, but it can be more adventurous than that. We can do Justin Bieber, Radio Head, The Beatles and Kings Of Leon in acoustic styles as well. Ultimately, with a stripped back line up (e.g. soft vocals, acoustic guitar, double bass, light percussion etc) we can do any song with an “acoustic” feel, and that’s a hip way to mix things up.

The first thing to consider is whether you're playing the ORIGINAL version via a speaker, or having musician(s) perform a live version. Obviously live musicians can take your song selection and change the tempo or groove of the song to give it a totally different feel, which can be nice and unique. For instance, you could select Love At First Sight by Kylie Minogue, and the live solo musician on vocals/guitar could do a version of it that's slower and gentler without the drum beat.
Additionally, in our opinion, processional songs don't always need to be slow and romantic! Yes there are tried and tested songs like Mango Tree, Even When I'm Sleeping, At Last, Beyond, Can't Help Falling In Love etc. But we also love seeing couples shake it up a bit and select a song that is more upbeat and celebratory, or, a song that starts slow and builds. At the end of the day, your walking down the aisle song can set the tone for the whole day. So if you want your wedding to be a bit different and a real party...then who says you can't have a party song?! Examples in this category are Can't Get Enough Of Your Love by Barry White, Say You Love Me by Fleetwood Mac, You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates, I Found You by Alabama Shakes, Love Is In The Air by John Paul Young.
