Australian music icon, Tex Perkins, is back in the Canberra Region for a rare intimate show at Tallagandra Hill Winery with his musical collaborator and fellow guitar hero, Matt Walker. Such a treat for Canberra’s live music lovers.

It is understandably difficult to pull together a coherent picture of a man whose career has included everything from the lilting, dark country of the Dark Horses, the hard-edged and snarling pub rock of the Beasts Of Bourbon, through to the evocative soundscapes of the Cruel Sea and beyond…

Perkins’ world-weary growl is an entirely original yet archetypically Australian sound.

Now Tex is reuniting with Matt Walker for duo shows. Their powerful live show features songs spanning Tex’s vast catalogue, as well as brand new material they have written together for their Fat Rubber band album.

This event will be held indoors by fireside in the Tallagandra Hill event venue, as part of the district’s Fireside Festival.

A range of Tallagandra Hill wines, plus local beers will be available.

Food will also be available to purchase prior to the event and on the night. An email with a link to the dinner menu will be sent to all attendees one week prior to the event.

Doors open at 6.15pm (not before) with the artists on stage at 7pm. Venue closes at 10.30pm.

This show is part of Tallagandra Hill’s We Love Local Festival, supporting local Australian artists and producers. Canberra-based stars Lucy Sugerman and Koebi Faumui will open the show.

Tallagandra Hill Winery, 1692 Murrumbateman Road, Gundaroo NSW.
