ABOUT / KANE MAHER
A guitar. A curious mind. A few good ideas.
I’m Kane — musician, filmmaker, entrepreneur, inventor and digital systems builder. Nambour is home; the Sunshine Coast is where I make room for music, people and time in the water.
Different ways of making.
The same need to connect.
Music brings it together
My favourite part of playing isn’t just getting a song right. It’s hearing the room join in. A familiar chorus can turn strangers into a crowd, or make a celebration feel like it belongs to everyone there.
I play with vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, loops and beats, shaping the energy around the people in front of me. Sometimes that means leaving space. Sometimes it means giving the room a reason to get up.
Find your kind of live music ↗Curiosity keeps it moving
I’ve never been interested in doing only one kind of making. A story can become a film. An odd connection can become a creative project. A repeated frustration can become the starting point for a useful tool.
Those interests feed each other. Music teaches me to listen; filmmaking asks me to notice; building things makes me work out what an idea needs to become real.
A LIFE WITH MUSIC IN IT
Different places.
Always a song.
From early band days to solo shows and a quiet guitar by the water, music has followed me through different chapters. It’s a way to meet people, mark a moment and feel at home somewhere new.
These days I’m based in Nambour, playing across South East Queensland and beyond, while making space for film, new ideas and the occasional wave.

THE WAY I WORK
Listen first.
Make it personal.
Whether it’s a room full of people or a new project, I start by listening. What matters to you? What would make this feel right? That conversation gives the work its direction.
I like clear agreements, room for ideas and a practical next step. For a show, tell me about your crowd and occasion. For a creative or digital project, bring the problem, the possibility and what you already have.
Watch a live performance ↗LET’S MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
A good night.
A story. A possibility.
If you’re planning an event, have a project in mind or think we could make something interesting together, tell me a little about it. We can work out a sensible place to start.
