Sally's Candy Shop

Sally’s Candy Shop is the solo acoustic project of Brisbane-based singer and guitarist Marco Motta. Mixing raw emotional grit with a high-energy vocal presence, Marco transforms covers into something bigger, louder, and more dynamic than a typical solo act. His voice is the centrepiece, capable of going from warm and intimate to explosive and room-shaking, often in the same song. Whether he’s tearing into Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Powderfinger, or Harry Styles, his sets are built to wake a room up. Marco isn’t there to be background noise — he brings energy, tension, release, and a real sense of performance, even when it’s just one man and a guitar. Perfect for pubs, bars, breweries and late-night venues, Sally’s Candy Shop specialises in sets that start mellow and end with people singing along, moving, and leaning into the night. Raw, unfiltered and always alive: that's the sound.
