A song can evoke a memory of a place, a person, lost love and new love as well as giving hope or inspiration at time when it is most needed. The test of a songs greatness is whether or not it can be taken back to its bare bones and performed with little or no accompaniment or embellishment and it is in that spirit that the RSL present .Drift Away....a celebration of the love song.
Displaying the exquisite vocal harmonies and musicality that saw them win both MO and ACE Awards over the years in various show bands and touring acts, Paul McGovern, Cameron Lees, Jerry Ico and Graham Lockwood will take you on a journey through the songbook that has provided the soundtrack to the lives of millions of people around the world and across generations.
The band members are seated across the front of the stage with acoustic instruments in much the same fashion as the Eagles in their legendary "hell freezes over" comeback show.
Acoustic guitars, keyboards, percussion, acoustic bass and four voices blending in perfect harmony.
At a time when people are becoming more disenchanted with paying for concert tickets only to be presented with an artist miming their hits to a backing tape, it is refreshing to see an act rely on their ability to present songs with honesty and sincerity.
You will hear classics from a wide variety of artists including The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Bread, America, Crowded House, The Beatles, The Bee Gees and many more.
The second half of the evening is geared toward dancing and everyone letting their hair down and having a ball with "Jalapeno Deluxe" morphing into full band mode.
Doors open at 6pm and meals will be served from 6.30pm. The entertainment will commence at 8pm and continue into the night. The cost is $25 per person. For more information see www.merimbularsl.com.au.
