Acoustic Guitar Spectacular, Sunshine Coast Tour, July 2024
The highly anticipated Acoustic Guitar Spectacular is set to captivate Sunshine Coast audiences once again this July. This series of intimate concerts, hosted by renowned Brisbane guitarist Michael Fix, will feature a trio of Queensland's finest musicians, including Marcus Church and Brendan Radford.
The tour will take in Eudlo, Coolum, Pomona and Maleny from 19 to 27 July and promises to be a deep dive into the heart of acoustic music, filled with fretboard virtuosity, personal tales, and charming humour.
Michael Fix, celebrated for his brilliant fingerstyle guitar playing and captivating compositions, has released numerous albums and won multiple awards, including three CMAA Golden Guitar Awards. Having toured extensively throughout Australia and the world, Fix's performances are a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. Michael returns for this tour following an acclaimed solo performance at the World Ocean Day event in Palm Beach Florida, USA.
Joining Michael Fix on stage are Marcus Church and Brendan Radford. Marcus Church is rapidly gaining recognition in the Australian bluegrass scene. He is a regular performer with local bands such as Haystack Mountain Hermits, the Shining Hour, and the Inadequates. Fresh off a USA scholarship study tour - the highlight of which was being invited to perform with Billy Strings and Bryan Sutton - Marcus brings his exceptional talent back home just in time for the Acoustic Guitar Spectacular tour.
Brendan Radford, a gifted guitarist and vocalist, has performed and recorded with many leading Australian and international artists. He was part of Lee Kernaghan’s touring band for over a decade and has been a key member of the house band for the Country Music Awards of Australia for the past eleven years.
Michael Fix expresses his enthusiasm for the tour, saying, “I am thrilled to bring the Acoustic Guitar Spectacular back for another year. With the incredible talents of Marcus and Brendan on board, we have created something truly special for this tour. Music fans and guitar aficionados alike will be treated to an unforgettable experience!”
