Shania Live - Shania Twain Tribute An electrifying tribute that truly does justice to shania twain’s iconic hits

Minimum Performance Space 5 metres by 3 metres however the bigger the better.
Ideally power supplies should be within 5 metres of the stage area. Minimum electrical requirement is at least four 13 amp standard UK three pin outlets. Generators can be used but must be capable of supplying up to 6KW for the band.
Shania Live may use strobe lighting, smoke and pyrotechnic effects during the performance but will endeavour to seek permission from the client and the owners of the venue before using such effects and to discuss suitability.

The band typically arrive in two or three vans and two cars - parking should be provided for the vehicles and an area to unload/load as close as possible to the performance area.

If the band are performing outside, cover from the elements will be required for the equipment. out of bounds to the general public (and wandering dogs/cats and animals - believe us......it has happened!! :-) in order to protect the equipment and for safety.

Yes we are completely self contained. We will bring out own PA system scaled to meet the size of the venue and the same for a lighting rig usually with our own sound engineer. We also provide video projection and screen where the venue allows (performance area height/width and where the screen will be free from movement ie Wind).

The full address of the venue and any special directional notifications out of the ordinary to find the venue. Where we can unload our equipment and where to park thereafter. We will need to know if the venue use a sound limiter and if a dry ice machine can be used.

Yes we offer to play Spotify music for all clients at no extra charge and will provide such music at times designated by the client. You can choose the music yourself and provide a Spotify library or we can do this for you.

As individual musicians we have all performed at some very prestigious venues and events in our pasts. As Shania Live it is hard to choose a best venue or gig as they have all been good events in their own right and all so varied. We always have people on their feet. Once people are on their feet this feeds the band and the event adds to our memorable experiences. It's not so much the "best gig or venue" we remember it's the people who made the event special.

This is too diverse across the members of the band to list here. The one common area that we would all agree on is we love any music, song or band that would get people up on their feet and dancing.
However, one common artist we all like, is obviously, Shania Twain and modern country music. Shania was the first real country artist to cross over to mainstream pop and rock and her hits have a real dance vibe about them. We all love her early live performances and it's from those that we take our inspiration in creating this tribute.

We are all very experienced musicians and we all have a long and diverse history in music and performing from touring rock/funk bands, cabaret, pop and signed artists, radio airplay and support to well known artists as well as studio recording and sessions. We all started in our youth and have continued ever since such is our love for music. We hope that comes across in our performances.

Any event, barn dances, festivals, weddings, corporate events, theatres, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, charity events, parties, where people want to sing a long, tap their feet and dance. We have found that where there is audience participation (singing, dancing), that feeds the performance and the atmosphere just keeps rising.

We normally need a minimum of around two hours to get equipment into the venue, set up and sound checked.
Performance times can range to suit the client from 30 minutes to two hours, or more if required.

If we are playing a festival where typically front of house and sound engineering is already provided along with a drum kit and we simply need to use our own back line minimal time is required. We do use our own "stage box" (with a snake feed to the mixing desk) that provides all our mixes for our in-ears as well as output for the mixing desk of each instrument and vocals.

Yes and we have performed many gigs outside. However, please note;

If the band are performing outside, cover from the elements will be required for the equipment and sufficient power supplies. The staged area on which the band are to perform must be flat, dry and out of bounds to the general public (and wandering dogs/cats and animals - believe us......it has happened!! :-) in order to protect the equipment and for safety.

Clients tend to look at our repertoire, look at videos of our performance, decide that they like it and book us based on that. Typically we do a set show at theatres that includes all of Shania Twain's main hits from the USA and UK as well as some well known country hits thrown in.
If it's an event (as opposed to a theatre show) we can mix and match the repertoire to suit - all Shania, Shania and Country hits, Shania plus Country hits plus some rock/pop/disco/dance (see our other offering on here FREE SPIRIT). Whatever a client wants.
We do and we are more than happy to learn specific songs for clients before an event but we would need to limit this to a maximum of three and we would need a couple of weeks to learn and rehearse them with the band before the event.
Clients are always welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire.

"Loved it" is a common response. We're often told how professional we are and how we are able to help even the hardest of audiences get up and dance. To see some live responses from attendees at our events please visit our web site at www.shanialive.co.uk
