Bloom Sings Eva Cassidy (PM Concert)
Bloom Sings Eva Cassidy is an intimate and acoustic tribute that brings to life the timeless music of one of the most soul-stirring voices of our time. Audiences will be mesmerised as Bloom delivers heartfelt renditions of Eva’s most beloved songs, including “Songbird,” “Time After Time,” “Fields of Gold,” “Over the Rainbow,” and many more. With sold-out tours across Australia and New Zealand, Bloom has earned acclaim as “one of Australia’s finest vocalists,” captivating audiences with her rich, soulful voice and heartfelt performances. Eva Cassidy’s story is as moving as her music. Despite her extraordinary talent, she spent much of her life in obscurity, and tragically, Eva passed away from melanoma at just 33 years old, never witnessing the impact her music would later have. Two years after her death, her breathtaking covers of “Fields of Gold” and “Over the Rainbow” gained worldwide attention. Through this beautiful tribute, Bloom honours Eva Cassidy’s quiet brilliance and enduring legacy, sharing the heartfelt music of an artist who left us too soon but left behind a body of work that continues to inspire the world today. Brought to you by AAA Entertainment. This event is part of the Scenic Rim Cultural Programming. Tickets $39.00; Seniors and Groups 8+ $35.00 pp. Share platters (up to 2 people) are available at a cost of $28. An option to purchase will appear through the ticketing process.

Barry Morgan’s Travelling Organ Tour
Barry Morgan's Travelling Organ Tour Saturday 21 February | Wallaby Hotel, Mudgeeraba Barry Morgan Hits the Road with “Barry Morgan’s Travelling Organ Tour” New single“I Say Morgan”and a national tour from Australia’s master of the home organ Australia’s favourite home organ maestro, Barry Morgan, is back — and he’s bringing his beloved organ along for the ride! Fresh from a smash-hit season at the Edinburgh Festival, Barry is set to dazzle audiences across the country with his brand-new show, Barry Morgan’s Travelling Organ Tour, celebrating the release of his infectious new single, “I Say Morgan.” In true Barry style, this isn’t just any tour — it’s a genuine road-hopping adventure. Barry will be personally driving his modified van from town to town, spreading joy, groove and good vibes to fans far and wide. Expect high spirits, tight rhythms, and more polyester than you can poke a keyboard at. Known for his nimble fingers and irresistible showmanship, Barry Morgan transforms the humble home organ into a one-man symphony of sound. His performances are a nostalgic, hilarious, and musically brilliant tribute to the golden age of lounge and pop. “The home organ has soul — it’s my mission to make sure the world knows it!” says Barry. “This tour is about bringing people together through music, fun, and a bit of organ magic.” Audiences can expect dazzling solos, heartfelt grooves, and plenty of cheeky showbiz flair. With his charm and passion for all things organ, Barry Morgan continues to prove why he’s a true legend of Australian entertainment. Joining Barry on this tour as Special Guest will be "STRETCH", the iconic bushman sharing the trials and tribulations of being a real life roadie on tour with Barry. The Stretch character adds another layer of brilliance to the show while celebrating his musical prowess. It's a complete saga! Barry Morgan’s Travelling Organ Tour — a show not to be missed! ABOUT STRETCH (Barry Morgan’s Legendary Bushman Roadie) Meet Stretch — Barry Morgan’s right-hand man, part-time roadie, and full-time legend of the open road. With a heart as big as the outback and a toolbox full of duct tape and wisdom, Stretch has seen it all — from flat tyres to full houses. He’s the bloke who keeps the wheels turning and the organ humming, sharing stories of life on tour with a megastar, and the occasional bush philosophy about love, loyalty, and the price of petrol. When Stretch picks up a guitar or tambourine, things get real — his musical interludes and honest yarns bring a whole new rhythm to Barry’s show. Together, they’re the ultimate odd couple of Australian entertainment — one dazzling in sequins, the other dusted in red dirt. “Barry might be the star,” Stretch says, “but I’m the one who makes sure his organ doesn’t roll down a hill.” Can't make the event?
