🎶 The Barnyard Band – Country Rock Music.
Full Production. One Powerful Package.
For the past three years, Laurence has been developing a country show designed to bring a concert-grade visual spectacle to everyday rodeos, campdrafts, ag shows and festivals across Queensland.
Alongside powerhouse fiddle player Katisha, the show features a full 5-piece live band, delivering a high-energy performance that blends modern country hits, crowd favourites, and original moments of humour and storytelling.
This isn’t just another local pub band thrown together for a weekend gig. It’s a Queensland-born touring country concert experience built to light up dusty rodeo arenas just as easily as it can entertain a packed theatre.
With big sound, time-code concert grade lighting, and a party atmosphere that keeps crowds singing all night, the show has quickly become one of the most exciting country acts travelling the festival circuit around beautiful Queensland.
We arrive road-ready with:
✅ Touring Sound Guy
✅ Full backup gear (instruments, mics, mixers, lights, DI boxes, and more)
✅ Stage visuals & skirting

The Barnyard Band isn’t just a band — we’re your one-stop shop for live entertainment done right. Affordable. Polished. High impact.
🎤 Let’s make your next event unforgettable.
Meet Katisha
Lets Kick this up a notch hey?
🎻 Katisha Adelaide is a genre-blending, globe-trotting violinist, composer, singer and live looper — and we’re lucky enough to borrow her as our fiddle player. Hailing from Far North Queensland and trained everywhere from Sweden to the Conservatorium, Katisha brings wild creativity and technical firepower to every stage. We take that genre-bending energy and funnel it into a country sound that’s straight-up unreal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of music does your band play?
A: We’re a country band playing mostly the best country hits from the top artists of all time. Our music mostly consists of Party Favourites, with modern energy, making every show a great time.
Q: Where can we listen to your original music?
A: We’re currently recording our original songs, and they’ll be available soon on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. In the meantime, check out our live performances on social media and our website.
Q: Can we request songs at your shows?
A: Our show is similar to most touring bands in the way that our set's are pre-set to ensure the show has the best balance of all music. We find most of the time a song is requested, we have it coming up in a set anyway, and any songs that we don't know that are requested, I will earmark for the next DJ set to be played either by video music or normal dj song.
Q. Do you have a wireless Mic we can use for speeches.
A. Absolutely, a wireless microphone is included at no extra cost as long as the speeches are happening in the same area as where the band is set up. If you require a mic in a different location, you may need to hire a speaker and mic from a production company.
