SUMMARY:Eric Bibb - One Mississippi World Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Three-time Grammy-nominated blues legend Eric Bibb returns to Australia with his first full-band tour since early 2023\, celebrating his groundbreaking new album One Mississippi (out January 2026). \nExpect the complete live experience: Bibb’s unmistakable voice and storytelling\, backed by a powerhouse trio featuring Staffan Astner on guitar (Celine Dion\, Ray Charles)\, Glen Scott (bass and keys) and former “forever drummer” for Nina Simone\, Paul Robinson. Together\, they bring One Mississippi to life in all its soulful\, socially conscious and musically adventurous glory. The set blends new material\, including the infectious first single “This One Don’t”\, with beloved songs from Bibb’s rich catalogue and a few surprises saved for Australian audiences. \nKnown for concerts that are intimate\, passionate and profoundly human\, Bibb now expands that warmth into a dynamic\, rhythm-filled celebration of peace\, justice and unity. Don’t miss one of contemporary blues’ most inspiring artists at the height of his creative powers. \nOne of the most relevant\, leading bluesmen of our time\, Eric Bibb continues to evolve and enhance his global reputation as a fiery singer- songwriter with true soul\, grounded in the folk/blues tradition but with contemporary sensibilities. \nTo experience Eric live is to be struck by his sheer humanity and convictions based in the values of the civil rights movement of the sixties. His music works in service of that dream\, holding out a hope for a new world. He challenges us to do better\, to reach higher\, and strive harder. Like Mavis and Pops Staples\, he wants to take us there.

SUMMARY:The Tap Conductor
DESCRIPTION:The Tap Conductor – An Art House Production\nConcept\, Sound Design & Co-Direction – Hilton Denis\nDramaturgy & Co-Direction Alicia Gonzalez\nProduced by The Art House \nAn ageing maestro stands before his orchestra\, unfinished masterpiece echoing in his mind. His body slows. His rhythm does not. \nThe Tap Conductor is a theatrical journey through memory\, time\, and the untameable pulse of rhythm. Blending virtuosic tap\, physical theatre\, contemporary movement\, and a live band that must chase the dancer rather than lead him\, the work flips the traditional hierarchy of music and movement on its head. \nAt its centre is the Tap Conductor – brilliant\, obsessive\, vulnerable. His feet become the baton. His rhythms summon continents\, characters\, and forgotten moments. Musicians emerge not as background\, but as co-conspirators in a playful battle between control and surrender. \nHumorous\, poignant\, and rhythmically electric\, The Tap Conductor explores what it means to age\, to create\, and to rediscover the pulse that keeps us alive. \nA theatrical odyssey where music doesn’t command the body — the body commands the music. \nThis project is support by the NSW Government through Create NSW. \nNote: This performance will take place in our Studio with a split cabaret set up. There will be an arrangement of tables as well as a seating bank. As this space is general admission\, seating will not be assigned and you may choose either a table setting or a tiered seat on arrival.

SUMMARY:Ruthie Foster with full band | Avoca Beach Theatre
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY® Award–winning vocalist and guitarist Ruthie Foster returns to Australia in 2026\, bringing the magnetic presence that has made her one of the most revered voices in contemporary roots music. Often compared to the great Aretha Franklin for her emotional power and vocal command\, Foster blends blues\, gospel\, folk and soul with a depth and clarity that stop audiences in their tracks. Her masterful guitar playing is equally celebrated – fiery\, melodic\, and deeply expressive – elevating her songs with the same sincerity that defines her voice. \nHer most recent Australian visit came just weeks after she earned her first GRAMMY® Award for Mileage (2024)\, produced by Tyler Bryant for Sun Records. Acclaimed for its honesty\, craftsmanship\, and emotional weight\, the album reaffirmed her status as a singular figure in modern American music. Australian audiences have embraced her for years\, drawn to the authenticity and generosity she brings to every stage. \nFoster’s musical journey is as expansive as her sound. Raised in a gospel-rich family in Gause\, Texas\, she found her voice in church before studying music\, serving in the U.S. Navy\, and honing her songwriting in New York City. Her acclaimed catalogue – including Runaway Soul\, The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster\, The Truth According to Ruthie Foster\, and Healing Time – showcases her versatility. Along the way\, she has collaborated with Bonnie Raitt\, Susan Tedeschi\, Derek Trucks\, and other luminaries. \nIn 2026\, Ruthie Foster returns at the height of her powers\, offering unforgettable evenings of soul\, storytelling\, and musicianship from an artist whose voice and guitar speak straight to the heart.
