Whichever organ you prefer, this'll be a banger! Come along and help the Sunny Coast decide once and for all if music really is better than sex. Two teams, three comedians on each.

23.01.2022 Daniel Champagne - what an absolute gem. Not too long 'til he's back on the Coast for a one-off performance in the playhouse.

23.01.2022 TURN UP 2020 is coming.... https://www.youtube.com/watch

22.01.2022 Just Announced: Daniel Champagne The young Australian born and Nashville based virtuoso recently described as ‘the finest guitar player of his generation’ brings his world tour back home with new music including a Sunshine Coast show July 30 at The Playhouse Theatre (Sol Bar) The story goes that Daniel Champagne first picked up his instrument of choice as a 5-year-old following in the footsteps of a music father. He began writing songs at 12, training classically throughout ...his teens and performing wherever he could, honing his craft and developing the dynamite live show that he is renowned for today. At 18 he left school, turned professional and hit the road without looking back. The following years have seen him release four studio albums, tour relentlessly around the globe with upwards of 300 shows per year, play some of the biggest festivals under the sun and share stages with the likes of Tommy Emmanuel, INXS, John Butler, Lucinda Williams, Ani DiFranco, Judy Collins and Rodrigo y Gabriela. Daniel is now regarded as a leading light in acoustic music, with a firm reputation for dropping jaws, making crowds buzz and breaking guitars wherever he goes! Tickets just $25. Do not miss this show. They have been selling out all over the world! WHAT THE PRESS SAY.. The word Prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws. The Calgary Herald, CANADA Today I saw the future of Folk Festival goers flocking in the thousands towards the main stage to witness a young musical phenomenon from Australia dish out an absolute show-stopper. The Firefly Column, USA Daniel Champagne is a crossroads. Fusing the strong traditions of Blues, Folk and other roots art with pop showmanship and admirable lyrical ability. I firmly believe that he will become an ambassador for roots music in a time where it desperately needs representation. The Indie Blender, CANADA reinventing roots guitar Rhythms Magazine, AUSTRALIA Watching Daniel Champagne perform is a once in a lifetime experience. He is a true prodigy that plays like no one else could possibly play unless they spent at least two lifetimes studying the art. BW Review, NEW ZEALAND ‘Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical’ Themusic.com.au, AUSTRALIA

21.01.2022 Tonight in the Playhouse: "His fifth tour in as many years, Lewis Spears is back with a brand new show full of material you probably shouldn’t laugh at but definitely will. After performing to packed comedy clubs in New York city, headlining across Australia and dominating online, Lewis is on his way to international fame and breaking ground for the next generation of Australian comics.... Spears is well known for his brilliant and divisive material, with clips of his standup raking in millions of views, previous shows selling out far in advance and his comedy special Death Threats Don’t Scare Me" breaking world records. Don’t miss your chance to see Lewis Spears in his element. This year he’s taking a stand. For too long we’ve been letting things slide, from slow walkers to offended people with blogs and (if we’re being honest) America in general. It’s time to do something about it. It’s time for #NoSlideSeason " https://www.facebook.com/events/2624826377528800/
