🎶 The Barnyard Band – Country Rock Music.
Full Production. One Powerful Package.
The Barnyard Band brings the complete country concert experience to your event — sound, lighting, visuals, and world-class musicianship all in one professional package. No need to hire a separate production team — we’re the full show, ready to rock festivals, rodeos, weddings, and afterparties across Queensland. We roll in with a 12,000-watt RMS PA, a time-coded intelligent light show, and a 5000-lumen projection rig perfect for sponsor reels, animated backdrops, or even live video. It's a visually stunning setup that puts us miles ahead of any act in our range — and even many priced far above. At the front is Laurence Sorbello, award-winning entertainer and master of crowd participation, supported by Steven Sparrow on lead guitar and Nick Gray on drums. And stealing the spotlight? Katisha Adelaide — an internationally travelled violinist, singer, and live looping artist who has turned into a full-blown country fiddle shredder, lighting up classics like The Devil Went Down to Georgia and other boot-stomping hits with raw energy and flair.
We’re a clean, professional outfit with full production built in — no surprises, no stress, just a killer show. Whether you want G-rated family fun or an unleashed rodeo party, we adapt the content and vibe to suit your crowd.
We arrive road-ready with:
✅ Touring Sound Engineer
✅ Full backup gear (instruments, mics, mixers, lights, DI boxes, and more)
✅ Stage visuals & skirting
✅ Bright branded trailer and reliable Toyota vehicles
✅ Customizable setlist and flexible run sheet
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.
