A STUNNING display of musical mastery will be taking to the Coolum Civic Centre stage for just one night this Saturday, July 20 from 7pm as the 2024 Acoustic Guitar Spectacular makes its way back to our region as part of the Sunshine Coast tour.
This series of intimate concerts, hosted by renowned Brisbane guitarist Michael Fix, will feature a trio of Queensland’s finest musicians, including Marcus Church and Brendan Radford.
The trio will be playing both solo and ensemble pieces which will traverse a wide range of genres from country to rock and classical to bluegrass. This concert series offers a rare opportunity to witness an abundance of musical talent on one stage.
Guitarist Michael Fix is celebrated for his brilliant fingerstyle guitar playing and captivating compositions and has released numerous albums and won multiple awards, including three Country Music Association Australia Golden Guitar Awards.
Michael is excited to be once again bringing this very special event to Coolum.
“With the incredible talents of Marcus and Brendan on board, we have created something truly special for this tour. Music fans and guitar aficionados alike will be treated to an unforgettable experience!”
Having toured extensively throughout Australia and the world, Fix’s performances are a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. Michael returns for this tour following an acclaimed solo performance at the World Ocean Day event in Palm Beach Florida, USA.
Joining Michael Fix on stage are Marcus Church and Brendan Radford. Marcus Church is rapidly gaining recognition in the Australian bluegrass scene. He is a regular performer with local bands such as Haystack Mountain Hermits, the Shining Hour, and the Inadequates.
Fresh off a USA scholarship study tour – the highlight of which was being invited to perform with Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton – Marcus brings his exceptional talent back home just in time for the Acoustic Guitar Spectacular tour.
Brendan Radford, a gifted guitarist and vocalist, has performed and recorded with many leading Australian and international artists. He was part of Lee Kernaghan’s touring band for over a decade and has been a key member of the house band for the Country Music Awards of Australia for the past eleven years.
The tour will take in Eudlo, Coolum, Pomona and Maleny from July 19 to 27 and promises to be a deep dive into the heart of acoustic music, filled with fretboard virtuosity, personal tales, and charming humour.
The Acoustic Guitar Spectacular Sunshine Coast tour is presented by local performing arts company Red Chair with the support of the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
