Echo Drive

Echo Drive - a real band available to hire for your event. We don’t sound like a cheesy covers band. We sound like a real band. Starting with Calder’s characteristic, gritty vocal style, we have developed Echo Drive in the way you would an original band. Then we have chosen the biggest hits and performed them in a way that sounds authentic, without deviating from the feel of the original tracks that you know and love. ​We never use backing tracks that can often lead to stale and rigid performances. We do use live triggering of samples, so that nothing is missing. This means each performance is free to be delivered in a way that feels right for that particular gig. We use a mix of acoustic and electric guitars so we can cover the nu-folk sounds of Mumford and Sons or the Lumineers, for example. We also have a live synth so we can perform dance tracks like Wake Me Up by Avicci and Nobody To Love by Sigma. ​Beyond that, Echo Drive play a large repertoire of your favourite indie/rock classics from across the decades, including - Stereophonics, The Killers, The Kinks, Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Pulp and many more. We delve into funk and party tunes such as Play That Funky Music and Superstition and we can learn a special request - such as a first dance song - within our standard fee. ​Echo Drive have various line-ups and options, such as Acoustic Solo/Duo, Wandering Echoes (our new mobile duo), 3-Piece Band, Acoustic Band, DJ Service. Running a successful function band is not only about delivering great performances, it’s also about professionalism. This means maintaining high expectations with everything from our equipment to our customer service.We use state of the art digital mixing for ultimate control. Our instruments, backline, fx processors and every single cable in between is maintained to professional standards.
