UPCOMING EVENTS AT
STONES OF THE YARRA VALLEY
AN EVENING WITH VIKA AND LINDA BULL
Friday, May 18, 2012
For 25 years, the glorious voices of Vika and Linda Bull have comprised one of the most distinctive,
versatile
and emotionally charged sounds on the
Australian
music landscape.
Since their multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with
the Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, the sisters have forged diverse pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of their Tongan ancestry.
By turns tender and powerful, their rich solo vocals
and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums
of their own, as well as illuminating studio and concert performances by Paul Kelly, Renee Geyer, John Farnham, Hunters & Collectors, Tim Finn, Kasey Chambers,
John Butler and many more.
Date: Friday, May 18, 2012 | Time: Doors open 6.30pm

AN EVENING WITH JAMES REYNE

Join Australian music icon and Stones of the Yarra Valley favourite James Reyne for an intimate dinner and performance in the historic barn on Friday, June 29.
Internationally regarded as one of Australia’s finest singer songwriters, James Reyne's musical career initially took hold in the early 80's when he and some friends formed the now-legendary Australian Crawl.
With his prolific song writing and unique vocal style, James led Australian Crawl to the top of the Australian music scene, spawning such homegrown greats as 'Reckless', 'Errol', 'Hammerhead' and 'Motor's Too Fast'.
Since then, James' solo career has seen the release of seventeen highly celebrated albums, reflecting an artist as relevent and remarkable as ever.

AN EVENING WITH VINCE JONES
Friday, July 13
"...a soulful survivor, with a voice
as cool as a long G&T" - Beat Magazine
If there was one voice in Australian jazz more
recognized than any other, it would be that of Vince Jones.
Our leading vocalist, interpreter, trumpet player and composer in a contemporary jazz style, it has been said that a brief, thoughtful solo from Vince Jones is worth a
hundred notes played with less discretion.
The heart of his work lies between Afro-American blues and Celtic folk tradition, a style that has seen him achieve critical acclaim
and loyal audiences in Europe,
US and Australia.
Performing in the intimate surrounds of the historic Stones barn, Vince will be joined on stage by three musicians highly regarded in their own right -
Simon Barker on drums, Matt McMahon on
piano
and
Ben Waples on bass.
Date: Friday, July 13, 2012 | Time: Doors open 6.30pm
Cost: $110 per person
(Three-course dinner and show - excludes beverages)

AN EVENING WITH DON WALKER
Saturday, July 28, 2012
"the most Australian writer there has ever been. Quite frankly, I think he's better than the rest of us..." - Richard Clapton
Don Walker was born in Ayr, North Queensland, in 1951. As a member of and main songwriter for Cold Chisel between 1973 and 1983 he wrote "Saturday Night", "Cheap Wine", "Standing on the Outside", "Four Walls", "Khe Sahn" along with many others, and co-wrote
"Flame Trees". Enough said.
One of Australia's most celebrated songwriters and raconteurs, Don Walker will lead you down the highway with tales of outback towns and science fiction, Hebrew myth, country halls and Bluecaps rock'n'roll, timber yards and poolrooms by the sea. Tales handed down from other centuries and those that had to be lived first hand.
Backed by his five piece band the SF's, this will be
Don's first performance at Stones of the Yarra Valley - come and spend a night with one of Australia's
truly great storytellers.
