TV Alert: 2021 Sounds Better Together

In case you missed it, Channel Nine is giving us all a reason to stay in tomorrow night. It’s airing “2021 Sounds Better Together,” a special live music event broadcasting from Mallacoota. The show will also incorporate performances from the rest of the 2021 Sounds Better Together concert series, which kicked off last week.

The lineup features the best local legends and emerging artists, so there’s something to keep everybody happy. I’m especially excited to see the performance the photo above came from. Jimmy Barnes, Josh Teskey, and Vika and Linda all on one stage? Sign me up! We’ve also got performances on Missy Higgins, James Reyne, Daryl Braithwaite, Archie Roach, Ross Wilson, Gordi, and heaps more.

“Musicians have been busting to get back on stage before real live audiences and it’s fantastic that we can stage these concerts at such amazing locations and iconic venues across Victoria,” explained Michael Gudinski, the chairman and founder of the Mushroom Group, who conceived the shows with Visit Victoria 2021. “The phenomenal success of last year’s Music From The Home Front highlighted a huge appetite from the public for live music on television and I’m thrilled that with this Nine broadcast everyone across Australia has an opportunity to experience the 2021 Sounds Better Together shows, even if they can’t be at them in person.”

It all kicks off at 7:30 pm, so set your DVRs and tune in!

Guadion Takes “TV Shows” Launch Online

With Ed Sheeran stepping back from the music business, there’s a vacancy for an acoustic-guitar playing singer-songwriter. Enter local lad Guadion, he’s stepping up with his folky pop to fill the void. He recently dropped his single “TV Shows,” and it goes down pretty easily.

You might actually think you were listening to the latest Ed Sheeran track if not for the reference to Kyle and Jackie O on the radio. Guadion has a similar storyteller quality and an ease about his music that draws you in.

“TV Shows is a small part of my life,” he explained. “I began writing the tune when I was working on a small farm in a rural area in Canada’s Saskatchewan. In this place I was turbulent. I never knew what I wanted to do. So I taught myself to play guitar and sing inside a grain silo every day after work. I was also going through a difficult stage of adolesence; through this song I was aiming to express my current feelings with music. Every time I’d think of the things I was going through I’d write a little bit more of the song. It’s not the first song I ever wrote, and definitely not the last, but it holds a long journey of my emotions, my memories and my thoughts.”

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Guadion has decided to take the single launch online. He’ll play an intimate set streamed via YouTube and Guadion’s Instagram page (@guadion_music) tomorrow night at 7:30 pm AEST.
