We're kicking off 2020 with a bang - two outstanding guest performers; Aria-nominated Sarah Calderwood, and ‘one of Australia's leading contemporary songwriters’, Steve Tyson. Don't miss it! PRICING CHANGES Thanks to all of you who completed our survey. The results showed that our audience valued highly the good listening environment and the program above all other factors. Surprisingly a significant percentage of respondents walk to the venue. Your responses helped us with our difficult decisions about dealing with increasing costs and venue location. Late last year Kurilpa Hall decided to again increase our rent significantly, therefore to stay put we need to increase our admission prices. We hope the increase won't disadvantage anyone, and if it is a problem please let us know. From February they will be: Full $15 and Concession $9. So, as Foco Nuevo heads towards its 12th birthday, we look forward to seeing you soon. |

Steve Tyson: Well-known to Brisbane audiences as a member of worldly folk-rock band Rough Red and via the release of three solo albums, Byron Bay-based singer-songwriter Steve Tyson has presented his music live in a variety of formats, most recently performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival with his swaggering alt-country band, Steve Tyson & The Train Rex. Steve will be joined onstage by guitarist Ian Shawsmith. Together they will be performing Steve's contemporary folk songs that are influenced by everything from The Beatles to the blues, but are decidedly Australian in content. [Website] |
