Featuring Alan Barnes & Tim Henwood

For more than five decades, Swanee has lived one of the great stories in Australian rock. On Friday 18th September, he’s bringing those stories to The Forge Theatre.
Presented by MR Touring, An Evening With Swanee is far more than a concert. It’s an intimate night of music, laughter and unforgettable stories, as one of Australia’s most respected rock voices reflects on an extraordinary career that has taken him from the stages of Fraternity and Feather to chart-topping solo success, lifelong friendships with Australian music royalty, and now, one of the biggest comebacks of his career.
Fresh from the phenomenal success of his acclaimed new album Believe, Swanee returns to the stage with a show that combines the songs audiences love with the stories behind them. Fans will hear about life on the road, behind-the-scenes moments from a career spanning more than fifty years, and the experiences that shaped one of Australia’s most distinctive voices.
The success of Believe has seen Swanee return to the national spotlight, with the album reaching No. 5 on the ARIA Vinyl Albums Chart, No. 4 on the Australian Artists Albums Chart, No. 3 on the Australian Physical Albums Chart, No. 2 in NSW/ACT, and No. 1 on the Australian Blues Albums Chart, cementing its place as one of Australia’s standout releases of the year.
