Taylor Henderson #LoveSomebodyTour [LIVE] at The World Theatre

Taylor will be serenading you with all the hits, and music yet to be released off his new album. These shows are going to be intimate and very personal, which will see Taylor in his shining element.

SOLD OUT in Melbourne!
Taylor stated "I’m so excited to be touring again, and this time i want to connect with as many fans as possible. I can honestly say the best is yet to come and it starts with this tour.... new music is exciting for me. " These shows will allow you to hear Taylor from the heart, so get ready for an intimate evening with Taylor Henderson.

In 2013, Taylor released his self-titled album, which debuted at number one on the Australian Aria charts and was subsequently certified as platinum by the Australian recording industry association. In addition to this, the single in the album "borrow my heart" also debuted at number one with a triple platinum status. It is said in the music industry that you are only as good as your second album, if this is true then his second album "burnt letters" also debuted at number one, yielding a top five hit with the song "when you were mine" .

In August 2016 Taylor released his new song "light up the dark" which featured on the Australian film SPIN OUT (which screened at The World Theatre). The past two years for Taylor have seen some major changes and self-analysis drawing insights from some of his favourite artists, such as Ed Sheeran, John Mayer and Michael Jackson, who all had one thing in common, being true to their art and their passion. Taylor has handpicked all the important elements to get his music to his fans on his terms.

2019 is shaping up to be a busy period for Taylor, with his new single titled "love somebody" and a national tour of the same name, kicking off in Victoria and then throughout the country, including Charters Towers in North Qld on Thurs 28 Feb 2019.

THE GRIGORYAN BROTHERS
SONGS WITHOUT WORDS
LIVE music on stage
 SAT 7 APRIL 7.30PM


  Tickets $29.50 | Student $25 Conc | Child $20

‘Their ability to play as if drawing from a shared musical consciousness and their subtle nuances of tempo, bordered on the uncanny’.

 – The West Australian

Currently touring USA as KD Lang opener, the Grigoryan Brothers’ are being celebrated by an entire new audience. Taking a quick break to perform 2 shows (Townsville & Charters Towers) before moving south to play... https://www.grigoryanbrothers.com/tour-dates

Although regarded as Australia’s finest guitar duo performing much of the instrument’s standard classical repertoire, the Grigoryan Brothers’ passion is to expand their horizons through new arrangements, their own compositions and commissions. This ambition can be heard as the brothers take the guitar into genres such as jazz, folk and contemporary music. There are no boundaries, only new frontiers to cross. In concert, mix it all together and you have a dimension to guitar-playing rarely seen in the musical world.

 

“The Grigoryan Brothers have a reputation of performing together so emphatically, they become extensions of each other.”

 – Courier Mail

When not on stage they are in the studio, having released six duo albums, four of which have been nominated for ARIA awards (Australia’s prestigious music awards).

The brothers have also performed with symphony orchestras and at international festivals in Australia and Europe. Slava continues in his position as Artistic Director of the Adelaide International Guitar Festival, a position he has held since 2010.

‘…..Slava and Leonard belong in a special category of excellence’

 – The West Australian
