The Majestic theatre in Pomona, is showcasing an amazing array of talent this year, including singer and successful recording artist Karen Knowles. Karen started her musical career as a singer, performing for five years on Young Talent Time. After this she made many TV variety show appearances including on Hey Hey it’s Saturday and the Don Lane Show.
Karen’s records have made gold and platinum sales, and she was the lead in the successful musical Big River, which toured Australia for eighteen months. Soon after this she was asked to join The Seekers, touring with the band for the following two years.
In her most personal show yet Karen presents Songs & Stories of Australia a concert celebrating well-known Australian music that we’ve grown to love – songs from artists such as Judith Durham, Olivia Newton John and Archie Roach; also featuring many other much loved songs from artists ,such as John Farnham and Icehouse, that connect us to this wonderful land we call home.
For this one night only event in Pomona, Karen will be joined by instrumentalist and harmonica player Justin Brady, as her special guest. Justin is most well known for being a significant band member in the ARIA award winning band Things of Stone and Wood. He has collaborated with Karen for many years, originally performing as part of the Big River cast, and later featuring on television performances on Hey Hey it’s Saturday, the Bert Newton Show and on some of Karen’s studio recordings.
Accompanying them will be Karen’s piano player Natasha Koch.
The Majestic Theatre has been waiting two years to feature Karen in concert, so the show on 1 August is one not to be missed.
Doors and bar open 6pm. Show starts 7pm. Tickets $55 / $50 concession. Tickets can be booked online via The Majestic Theatre Pomona website.
