TTHE GOODWILLS + KAREN LAW - SOUTHERN DOWNS TOUR
Award-winning songwriter Karen Law and her son Murray join The Goodwills Trio for concerts in Stanthorpe and Warwick on November 23 and 24.
These concerts were inspired when the two duos travelled to Canberra at Easter for a special concert. Karen and Bob are both winners of the Alistair Hulett Songs for Social Justice award. Nine previous winners lined up for a tribute concert at the National Folk Festival (photo taken backstage)
In August Karen launched her latest CD, Lifeline, in her home town of Nambour. Her son Murray, a Conservatorium graduate, played guitar and sang on the album, which was produced by Michael Fix.
Lifeline is receiving airplay on regional community radio stations throughout Australia. Karen’s songs have also been aired on Ian McNamara’s Sunday morning radio show.
The Goodwills (Bob and Laurel Wilson) are well known to listeners of Australia all Over with Bob’s original songs often played on the Sunday morning radio show. Expect to hear some old favourites (Big Country Town, Courting the Net) and some newer repertoire from Bob’s extensive catalogue. They are accompanied at both concerts by Brisbane-based fiddle player and harmony singer Helen Rowe.
The first concert is at Eukey Hall, near Stanthorpe, at 7pm on Saturday November 24. Tickets are $15 with children under 16 free. Sunday’s concert is at St Mark’s Anglican Church, Grafton Street Warwick at 2pm.
Tickets for both shows are available at trybooking.com or at the door.
