Also on Thursday, Tay Oskee brings his feel-good folk and roots music to Solbar, Maroochydore, following the release of his stunning debut album, “Keepers Of The Morning”.

Friday:
The famous red mullet and his punk rock band, The Chats (main photo), will return to their hometown for their Australian east-coast tour. Eamon Sandwith formed the band with St. Teresa’s Catholic College alumni, Josh Price, AKA Pricey, and Matt Boggs, in 2016. The lads met in the Noosaville high school’s music class, and while the cheeky frontman has a new crew these days, this will be a big one.

Saturday:
Angry Anderson, and Rose Tattoo, are coming to belt out some classic Aussie rock at Norton’s Music Factory, Caloundra West. Angry says the band’s next adventure falls under the rock banner of the “southern stars” and our “great southern land”. Fly the patriotic rock flag at Norton’s on Saturday. Tickets.
Taylor Henderson performs at The Brewery, Imperial Hotel Eumundi, on Saturday. The X Factor runner-up has become one of Australia’s most loved artists with his endearing, acoustic-pop melodies. Fan-favourite song, “Borrow My Heart”, is now a quadruple platinum-selling single. Tickets.
