Hillbilly Highway Sessions - With Bill and Tyler Chambers
2026-09-23 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-10-07 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | six string at the Sawmill
We’re honoured to welcome Bill & Tyler Chambers to the Six String stage for a new fortnightly Wednesday session of songs, stories and spontaneous collaborations.
After taking a break from hosting a regular local show, Bill is bringing the Hillbilly Highway Sessions to the brewery. Joined by the next generation of Chambers, Tyler and Bill will be sharing old favourites, new songs and creating the kind of intimate, music-filled nights that only happen when great artists gather in a room together.
Each session will also see friends, local musicians and surprise guests dropping in to share songs, swap stories and jump on stage. Think somewhere between a songwriter’s round, an open jam and a catch-up between mates who happen to be incredible musicians.
Wednesdays at 7pm starting July 1st and continuing fortnightly.
Free entry | Bookings encouraged
Come settle in with a beer, grab some dinner and be part of something special. You never know who might pull up a chair and play a song.

The Album Show Presents: The Music of the Bee Gees
2026-09-25 19:30 - 22:00 UTC | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
The music of the Bee Gees transcends most other song catalogues for not only its enduring and diverse material, but also the longevity and versatility of their songs. From their original British Pop influences, through to their second chapter encompassing disco and funk, their timeless ballads and even dalliances with authentic country and soul music, you would be hard pressed to find writers who achieved so much over such a long period.
The Album Show will be presenting a purpose-built selection of iconic songs from the Gibb Brothers’ catalogue in a night of stripped back simplicity, where the songs will be pushed to the fore. Featuring the incredible voices of Anthony Snape and Peta Caswell, with Album Show leader Michael Carpenter and a full band, this show promises to be an unforgettable night of soaring vocals, and engaging harmonies framed by a subtle but engaging accompaniment, adding another chapter to the evolving catalogue of Album Show shows.

Catherine Britt
2026-09-27 19:30 - 21:30 UTC | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
There’s no denying that Catherine Britt has well and truly lived her life and it’s all laid bare on her nineth career album, “The Hardest Thing”.
This is an album that is intended to be listened to from start to finish. And nothing is held back. It touches on the exploitation she endured as a young female in the music industry, her marriage breakdown, mustering the strength to heal, her road to sobriety and finding love again. “The Hardest Thing” is the ultimate triumph of one of Australia’s most loved and celebrated country artists. This is the sound of redemption and Catherine Britt at her absolute finest.
“Is it too early to name The Hardest Thing the album of the year?”
Jon Wolfe, Capital News
“Catherine Britt’s ninth sees her exuding grit and self-determination … Britt sounds positively reinvigorated here.”
Apple Music
“This is what Catherine Britt does … this is why she’s a genius”
Sophie Hamley, Sunburnt Country
The name Catherine Britt is synonymous with country music and is one of the most successful Australian acts in the genre. She is a five-time Golden Guitar Award winner and six-time ARIA Award Best Country Album nominee. At 17 she signed to RCA in the US, earned two US Billboard Top 40 Chart singles, toured and worked with everyone from Brooks & Dunn to Alan Jackson to Dolly Parton, is the youngest Australian ever to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and recorded a duet with Sir Elton John. Catherine is also a key member of the successful Americana outfit, The Pleasures, alongside Lachlan Bryan.
