Female Voices On Show at WOW Festival in Queensland

Strong female voices will be celebrated in Queensland this April as part of the WOW (Women of the World) Festival. The Queensland-based event features an outstanding arts program culminating with a special edition of Queensland Music Festival’s Songs That Made Me show at QPAC’s Concert Hall on April 8.

The show features performers from all corners of the Commonwealth including ShoShona Kish from Canadian duo Digging Roots, Fijian Queen of Pop Laisa Lualala Vulakoro, and our own Clare Bowditch, Deborah Conway, and Emily Wurramara.

“The energetic WOW program will be full of fun and laughter with serious reflection for women and girls, men and boys from all walks of life, ages and nationalities, with Songs That Made Me as a glittering and inspiring finale in the Concert Hall at QPAC,” confirmed Cathy Hunt, WOW’s Australian executive producer.

“Music is a deeply personal experience, but the themes and feeling it elicits are universal. Hearing from musicians about what music has moved them will not just be interesting, but uplifting and inspiring,” added John Kotzas, QPAC’s chief executive.

Tickets for Songs That Made Me and all other WOW Festival events are on sale now.

Katie Noonan, Abby Dobson, Angie Hart, and Martha Marlow Perform Together

Katie Noonan, Abby Dobson, Angie Hart, and Martha Marlow are teaming up for a star-studded series of shows which pay tribute to their greatest musical influences. Dubbed Songs that Made Me, the concerts will see these leading Australian vocalists putting their own stamp on songs from Carole King, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Kylie Minogue, Fiona Apple, and more.

The ladies previewed the shows at Sydney’s Camelot last month, and got such a response that they couldn’t resist taking the concerts on the road.

“There is nothing I love more than sitting around with my girlfriends, talking and sharing stories. But as a musician, I find we don’t get to share the stage with other artists very often – especially female artists,” explained Katie. “I thought this would be a wonderful and unique opportunity to share the stage through story and song and hang out with cool chicks at the same time! I am very excited to share the space with these gorgeous
women whom I admire and respect, and think it will be a very special night
for the audience and us!”

Tickets are on sale now for the following shows.

28 November 2013 – Governor Hindmarsh, Adelaide
30 November 2013 – Thornbury Theatre, Northcote
5 December 2013 – Factory Theatre, Sydney
14 December 2013 – Old Museum Concert Hall, Brisbane
