Choirboys Presents Run To Paradise - Great Australian RocknRoll Stories
2026-08-07 20:00 - 22:00 UTC | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
Back in 1978, a group of twenty-something mates from Sydney’s Northern Beaches formed a band called Choirboys. Surrounded by the wild, hedonistic chaos of the ’70s youth culture, they soaked it all in—every misstep, every party, every outrageous moment. That life would ultimately give birth to their defining anthem: Run to Paradise.
Fuelled by the stories that have long echoed through the halls of rock history—Run to Paradise became more than a hit; it became the opening line in a book of untold stories. Now, 35 years later, the band is ready to open that book and spill everything.
Part concert, part story, Run to Paradise is a raw, hilarious, and jaw-dropping journey through the golden era of Australian pub rock. Told in their own words, the Choirboys share the stories you were never meant to hear—wild nights, backstage madness, and the kind of insanity only a rock band could survive… all, as these Oz pub-rock icons recall it.
“They didn’t call it Pub Rock back then,” says frontman Mark Gable, “but we were there at the start—and somehow, we’re still here. It’s hearsay, it’s memory, it’s what we lived, what we were told. And a lot of it is just plain stupid… but that was the magic. There were no rules.”
Which movie star did the Divinyls’ bass player meet under a table at a club?
What was Chuck Berry’s strange backstage habit?
Did Deep Purple really leave Mark with a limp?
And what exactly happened to Iggy Pop’s pants?
Set to a soundtrack of the era’s most legendary tracks—from AC/DC, The Angels, Dragon, Screaming Jets, Deep Purple, Divinyls, and more—plus all the Choirboys’ hits including Boys Will Be Boys, Never Gonna Die, Struggletown, and of course, Run to Paradise.
This is Run to Paradise—where the stories are wild, the music is loud, and the truth is somewhere in between.
“This performance contains coarse language, drug references and adult themes.”
18+ ONLY!

CONTROL - 2026 CABRILLO FESTIVAL
2026-08-08 19:00 - 21:30 UTC | Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St, Santa Cruz, CA, 95060, United States
Conducted by Cristian Măcelaru
Clarice Assad: Kontrol (Philippe Quint, Violin) (Festival Commission & world premiere)
Jackson A. Waters: Defending Greenwood (West Coast premiere)
Hannah Ishizaki: Spin (West Coast premiere)
Dan Dediu: Concerto for Orchestra (U.S premiere)
A genre-expanding program examining power, agency, and the forces that shape contemporary life.
Clarice Assad‘s Kontrol (Festival Commission, world premiere), featuring violinist Philippe Quint, is a genre-defying work for narrator, projections, violin, and orchestra that interrogates the role of technology in human autonomy.
Defending Greenwood (Movement III: June 1, 1921) (West Coast premiere) by Jackson A. Waters—winner of the 2026 Cabrillo Emerging Black Composers Prize—bears witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre, countering historical erasure through musical testimony and remembrance.
Merging the Viennese waltz with electronic dance music, Hannah Ishizaki’s Spin (West Coast premiere), evokes motion, disorientation, and suspended time. As elegant triple-meter gestures collide with pulsing, club-like rhythms, the piece blurs past and present, creating a dizzying soundscape that feels both nostalgic and uncannily immediate.
Dan Dediu‘s Concerto for Orchestra (U.S. premiere) closes the program with a virtuosic and celebratory showcase of the ensemble, dedicated to Cristian Măcelaru in recognition of their long-standing artistic collaboration.

SAM BUCKINGHAM BEAUTIFUL MACHINE TOUR
2026-08-14 18:00 - 22:00 UTC | FunHaus Factory, 124 Donnison street, Gosford, NSW, 2250, Australia
Since releasing her career defining album DEAR JOHN in 2022, Sam Buckingham has built a cult-like following on the Australian live circuit.
She’s lapped the country six times on sold out headline tours and jumped on tour with some of the country’s biggest names like Paul Kelly, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Whitlams and Ben Lee. She’s also played at Woodford, Wild Village and Queenscliff Music Festivals and toured with the Festival of Small Halls.
2026 sees the release of Sam’s new album “Beautiful Machine”, a cross-Pacific collaboration with Australian-born Nashville-based producer Clare “LOLLIES” Reynolds. Sam says the songs for Beautiful Machine were written on hikes, beach walks, lying on the couch in her underwear and on long drives to see her family (while someone else was driving, of course). They mark a new chapter in her songwriting career, and in her life.
“I’ve been falling deeper in love with my body and the Earth” says Sam. “In a time when we’re seemingly obsessed with building ‘bigger and better’ technology, all I can think about is how the natural world is so brilliantly designed — it’s the most beautiful machine we’ll ever have. So, this album is a love letter to myself, my body, the earth and all of humanity. As we keep progressing, my only wish is that we remember we ARE the natural world — and we must care for ourselves and each other accordingly.”
Influenced by the lyrical honesty of Jensen McRae, Brandi Carlisle & Ani DiFranco, the anthemic energy of Maggie Rogers, and the rhythmic flow of artists like LaRussell and Connor Price, Sam’s unique sensibility for marrying poetry with pop shines as she effortlessly weaves her personal truth into the fabric of the global zeitgeist.
The 2026 Beautiful Machine tour will see Sam reach every corner of the country, treating audiences to intimate acoustic versions of crowd favourites from her previous releases – DEAR JOHN, Cyclone and Quiet Revolution – and using Ableton Push to live loop, sample, and bring these stunning new songs to life.
“Masterful songwriting” – Kate Miller Heidke
“Iconic” – Kia Handley (ABC)
“Powerful” – Bernard Zuel
“Byron Bay’s next big thing” – Courier Mail

Vince Jones Live & Intimate | Avoca Beach Theatre
2026-08-15 19:30 - 21:30 UTC | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
VINCE JONES … He’s Cool ~ He’s Smooth ~ He’s one of Australia’s premier exponents of Jazz in a unique Hip style!
“I watch people’s faces; and sometimes it looks like strange things are happening in their souls when they listen.” – VJ
Avoca Beach Theatre looks forward to welcoming back legendary musician VINCE JONES, Celebrating 50 Years in the spotlight, songwriting and touring!
This Special intimate evening sees the Maverick Artist journeying back through his career performing loved classic’s including ~ ‘Trustworthy Little Sweethearts’ ‘Nature of Power’ ‘Rainbow Cake’, whilst premiering tracks of the forthcoming new album, all delivered with effortless style!
Accompanied by His World Class group – featuring:
Matt McMahon on Piano
John Mackey – Tenor Sax
James Hauptmann – Drums
& welcoming Phill Stack on Double Bass (Thirsty Merc)
Multi ARIA-recipient, acclaimed vocalist, trumpeter and story teller is one of the most beloved iconic performers in Australian music. Vince needs no introduction to any music-lover, celebrated for theBeauty of His signature Voice, there is no one like Vince In Concert or in-person, an unassuming quiet charisma that has you spellbound! He has to be the world’s most laid-back singer, relaxed, cool and unhurried, confident in his own musical style, he sings like there’s nothing to prove; His mellifluous tone filling the lyrics with his obvious joy of the music.
Nicknamed-Australia’s National Treasure, for over 5 decades Vince has carved out a singular space in the Australian musical landscape, blending cool jazz, soul and sophisticated song writing with a lyrical honesty that speaks straight to the heart. From his breakthrough in the early 80s, to creating the highest-selling Oz Jazz album to date ‘Come in Spinner’ (from the ABC TV Series) to His enduring presence on festival stages and concert halls here and overseas, Jones has remained true to an artistic vision that’s as politically conscious as it is musically rich. Recognised as one of the country’s most influential Jazz artists captivating audiences with his deeply expressive vocals and spirited trumpet playing, He doesn’t just interpret songs he inhabits them!
With 24 albums to boot, a new offering due out in winter, he continues to inspire lusteners, push boundaries & set the benchmark for fellow musicians, with invites to guest mentor Oz Conservatorium students.. His Spirit and Voice as fresh and vibrant as the first day he hit the stage!
As a man who thinks deeply about the state of the world, his passion for social consciousness shines through in his lyrics and life. Never shy about advocating for and sharing his views on the human condition, world affairs and our environment, His thought provoking astute observations have you walking away inspired … you take home something to think about!
Born in Glasgow, Vince and family came to live in Australia at 11 years old. Growing up in Wollongong NSW, listening to his Horn-playing father and singing Mothers’ collection of great jazz albums, the feel, style and essence of the music became a natural part of Vince’s world. Starting his journey at 20 as a bebop trumpeter playing the club circuit in Melbourne in the late 70’s and early 80’s, the young man had no idea that in just a few years his superb voice would touch the hearts and minds of so many. Drawn to R&B music-a genre in which the emotive force of the voice is matched by technical and improvising skills, to a young guy steeped in creativity and blessed with a sweet golden voice – it was natural to meld these together – so began the evolution of one of Australia’s great vocalists.
“Jones’ effortless sublime voice and command of his beloved trumpet will have you swooning under his captivating spell.”
– The Australian
“We chose him because his music is different to typical jazz – It’s Hip Offbeat, Contemporary and Eclectic. You will go away from the concert feeling inspired…”
– Artistic Director, Riverfest NSW
“A magical performance by Vince Jones, who now has one of the best in a long line of exceptional bands.”
– Sydney Morning Herald
