MSO: The Music of John Williams @ Hamer Hall

I was already plenty pumped to hear the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra play John Williams’ greatest hits, but this special celebration of the 90th birthday of the film score maestro turned out to be even more magical.
Kasey Chambers @ Palais Theatre

Another concert that got delayed and delayed and delayed yet again finally happened! Great show with something old, something newer, and a country cover of Eminem I never knew I wanted.
New Music 04/2022 – Arlo Parks, Bicep, The Weather Station

A thoroughly charming neo-soul debut; an electronic album by a Northern Irish DJ duo; a quietly beautiful record about grief and climate change.
Amadou & Mariam @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall

I kicked off the Easter long weekend with this lively and funky show by the husband-wife duo from Mali. I love our homegrown talent but it’s great to finally see an international act after nearly two years!
Martha Marlow @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall

I had a very lovely evening at the Melbourne Recital Centre, listening to one of my favourite records from last year played live with a 17-piece chamber orchestra.
Courtney Barnett @ Forum Theatre

A Friday night show at the beautiful Forum Theatre, featuring one of our finest Australian singers-songwriters. I missed that faux night sky and the Greco-Roman sculptures!
John Butler @ Palais Theatre

There were happy faces all around the Palais Theatre, after an evening of virtuoso musicianship and warm banter.
New Music 02/2022 – Julia Stone, Baker Boy, Martha Marlow

I picked up some great releases by the Australian artists after working through Double J’s Best of 2021 list, including a couple of impressive debuts and an intriguing musical re-invention.
Montaigne @ 170 Russell
