IF there was ever a concert for country music fans not to miss, this is definitely the one.

Performing at Ipswich Civic Centre on March 8, the I Was Here 2013 Tour will feature two of Australia’s most popular country music artists, young gun Adam Brand and veteran performer Beccy Cole, supported by rising country stars Travis Collins and Matt Cornell.

Arts, Community and Cultural Services Committee Chairperson Councillor Charlie Pisasale said Adam Brand had the highest charting Australian country album of the year in 2012 and his latest album, ‘There Will be Love’, features some of his best songs yet. 

“Adam is a talented artist at the top of his game and 2013 is already shaping up to be even bigger for him,” Cr Pisasale said.

Beccy Cole recently won two Golden Guitars at the 40th Jayco Country Music Awards for best Female Artist of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year.

“Beccy has now acquired an impressive nine Golden Guitar Awards and three Gold Records, 12 number one singles, two Entertainer of the Year awards and a legion of loyal fans and continues to prove she is here to stay,” Cr Pisasale said.

Powerful country performer Travis Collins is well-known for his masterful guitar playing and stellar vocals and his storytelling style of song-writing.

Up-and-coming country artist Matt Cornell is in demand as a musician and back-up vocalist and has toured the world with some of the biggest names in the music business.

“In one great show Ipswich Civic Centre will be presenting some of the biggest names in Australian country music, so get your tickets early because this show is selling fast,” Cr Pisasale said.

Arts, Community and Cultural Services Committee Chairperson Councillor Charlie Pisasale said although the movie premiered back in 1975, 38 years later people will still be dancing and singing to The Time Warp.

“All you have to do is mention the movie and all the catchy songs and quirky characters come flooding back,” Cr Pisasale said.

“Now Ipswich fans can indulge in the fantasy, mayhem and madness of the original stage production when Time Warp: A Musical Tribute to The Rocky Horror Show comes to the Ipswich Civic Centre.”

Cr Pisasale said members of the audience are encouraged to dress as their favourite Time Warp character, with prizes awarded to the best dressed.

“Time Warp takes the basic storyline of the cult classic, twists it around and turns up the content with lots of comedy and audience participation for a satirical and interactive theatre experience,” Cr Pisasale said.

“This fun-filled show will capture and delight patrons with its risqué and hilarious adaptation of the original.”

The show was created by veteran theatre/television director Elissa Meyer Thomas and originally produced by Event Theatre Australia.

The show will feature all the favourite musical classics including Time Warp, Over at Frankenstein’s Place, Rose Tint my World, Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me, Dammit Janet, Don’t Dream It, Sweet Transvestite, Wild and Untamed Thing, Superheroes and more.
