SUMMARY:CRIPTONITE
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Glimmerverse\nCriptonite the Show takes place in the Glimmerverse\, a sparkling galaxy built from the things we adored as children\, things that never left us. Our early obsessions never faded\, they evolved. Fantasies that were once our escape have grown into artistry. Under the light of the sparkling crescent moon\, the stage becomes a space station. Things that once existed only in our imaginations have come to life in embodied performance. The Glimmerverse refuses the idea that adulthood requires the abandonment of wonder. \nCreated by international pole artist Deb Roach\, Criptonite is a bold circus cabaret blending pole\, aerial\, comedy\, live music\, drag and high skill performance into one unforgettable night. Gravity bends. Stories shimmer. The energy is electric. Sensual\, cheeky and powerful\, this is spectacle with heart. \nStep through the portal and into a glitter drenched galaxy of grown up imagination. It thrills\, dazzles and leaves you smiling brighter than when you arrived. \nCriptonite is a lived experience of disability show. The entire cast has lived experience of disability. \nGet ready\, Gosford. Criptonite lands May 16.\nSupported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

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.

SUMMARY:Things Of Stone & Wood - Rae St Album Launch Tour
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 40 years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone and Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s. Off the back of their top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’\, the band achieved national success\, ARIA and APRA awards\, international tours\, a gold album ‘The Yearning’ and even a Late Show parody\, kicking off a career that would make them one of Australia’s most loved and enduring acoustic bands. \nFast forward to 2026 and the band are still here\, doing what they do best: playing passionate and energetic live shows\, and recording and releasing new music. The surprisingly lush bedroom folk “Rae Street” is the first of two albums to be released in 2026 (and their first album since 2003)\, and it demonstrates that the band is still an innovative artistic force. \nCome on down for this special launch show\, and hear the new album alongside the hits “Happy Birthday Helen”\, “Wildflowers”\, “Rock This Boat” and “Share This Wine”\, all of which have become part of the Australian songbook. \nEvery Things of Stone and Wood show has always been full of emotion\, energy and sweeping melodies and harmonies. Don’t miss your chance to see this special version of “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band” (Michael Dwyer). \nwww.thingsofstoneandwood.com
