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.

Apple Music

Elton John Experience - Greg Andrew
2026-10-10 20:00 - 22:30 UTC | Avoca Beach Theatre, 69 Avoca Drive, Avoca, NSW, 2251, Australia
When it comes to channelling the iconic presence, flamboyance, and musical brilliance of Sir Elton John, few performers come close to Greg Andrew. With a striking likeness, virtuosic piano skills, and a show-stopping stage presence, Greg has become one of the most internationally acclaimed Elton John tribute artists in the world.
Blending masterful showmanship with faithful renditions of Elton’s greatest hits, Greg doesn’t just perform the music—he brings the spirit of the Rocketman to life. His soaring vocals, note-perfect interpretations, and dazzling piano solos have earned him global recognition and fan acclaim, with audiences often left wondering if they’ve just witnessed the legend himself.
In 2017, Greg’s extraordinary talent was recognised on the world stage when he was personally invited to perform at TRIBFEST in the UK—the largest tribute music festival on the planet. As the only Elton John performer selected worldwide, it marked a major milestone in a career that has since seen him tour for more than 12 years across over 30 countries. With over half a million people experiencing his shows, fans frequently describe Greg’s performance as “fantastic,” “brilliant,” and “the real deal.”
Greg’s two-hour production, The Elton John Experience, is a fully immersive concert that captures the magic, energy, and emotion of Elton’s legacy. “Sir Elton always made the audience feel like every show was their show,” says Greg. “And I’m no different. Every performance is about creating that connection, that shared celebration of these incredible songs.”
Born into a musical family and raised in Queensland, Greg’s journey began early. With both parents as schoolteachers and multi-instrumentalists, he was surrounded by music from day one. He went on to graduate from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in 1989 as a classically trained pianist, eventually merging his deep musical foundation with a lifelong admiration for the music of Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin.
“The music of Elton and Bernie has been a constant companion throughout my life,” Greg reflects. “It’s like growing up with a best friend. Performing these songs is an honour—and when I see how deeply they resonate with audiences, I know I’m doing something truly special.”
Now, as Elton John retires from touring, the hunger for his music remains as strong as ever. Greg Andrew is proud to help fill that void—not as an impersonator, but as a passionate, devoted artist paying homage to a legend.
With a repertoire spanning Elton’s extraordinary catalogue—featuring timeless hits like Tiny Dancer, Rocketman, Philadelphia Freedom, Candle in the Wind, I’m Still Standing, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, and many more—The Elton John Experience is more than a tribute. It’s a celebration of a musical legacy that continues to inspire generations.
This is not just a concert. This is The Elton John Experience. A night of dazzling music, heartfelt storytelling, and an unforgettable journey through one of the greatest songbooks in history.
