Andy Golledge (Solo) + Queenie (Solo)
2025-04-16 19:00 - 22:00 | mumbo jumbo’s, 92 Terrigal Esplanade, Terrigal, NSW, 2260, Australia
Get ready for an unforgettable East-Coast tour with the electrifying sounds of Andy Golledge (NSW) and Queenie (VIC)! With a mix of high-energy band shows and intimate solo performances, this special co-headline tour will feature the best of Australian alt-country and indie-rock talent so grab your tickets now – you don’t want to miss out!
When Andy Golledge performs, people take notice. Many years of performing live has honed his skills in knowing how to write a killer song and knowing how to knock an audience off their feet. His name is folklore in regional NSW and inner Sydney, both for the exhilarating unpredictability of his live shows and the curveballs of his repertoire, genre-hopping between 60s country and classic rock & roll. The band consists of some of the most respected musicians in the alt country/Americana scene in Australia, with a show that can take you from tender to tears, to rollicking and dancing wildly. His shows are word class, polished and ready to grab the attention of broader audiences.
Queenie is a fearless performer who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her live shows shake, shudder and smoulder with fiery charisma and freewheeling stagecraft when she’s performing with her band; a Rogues’ gallery of Melbourne’s finest musicians. Beneath all the sizzle, though, is a unique and powerful voice: tender one moment and visceral the next, Queenie can soar from Emmy-Lou Harris to Mariah Carey at the drop of a hat, launching her deeply emotive songwriting into the stratosphere like a rocket strapped to a Cadillac.
