One of the most anticipated events at the Mary Valley GourMay Festival is a live performance by musician/songwriter Amanda Emblem, to be presented by Artist & Artisan and The Green Bowl Edifice on Saturday 27 May.
Amanda is an outstanding performer who consistently releases quality original music, more recently in the folk, alternative acoustic singer songwriter genres.
Living in the Mary Valley since 2017, she doubles as a market gardener supplying her fresh produce as part of the Mary Valley Country Harvest.
Amanda will be launching her latest EP, titled Power of One, at the Artist and Artisan event at a secret location near Imbil.
It will be one of the closing events for GourMay, a month-long celebration of food and produce from the Mary Valley.
Saturday evening’s performance will include five tracks from the EP, including the title track Power of One.
This follows up from the recent album The Last Miracle which is still getting much attention, with songs such as Summer of Love and the much-loved local favourite Coconut Rum.
Artist & Artisan is more than live music. It’s multi-course food experience and showcases local fresh foods.
The Mary Valley Country Harvest is supplying the fruit and veg for the feast which starts at 5pm.
MVCH member John Brady will be speaking about his Amamoor Farm and fruit tree nursery, as well as supplying his fresh sorbets for dessert.
Location is everything and that is why it’s a secret. You get notified of the location after booking.
It is being held at an amazing private property close to the township of Imbil.
Here’s another important thing … it’s BYO drinks.
The venue was designed and built with recycled materials. It has amazing features and many surprises, a showcase of sustainability.
It is also the perfect backdrop for the sophisticated Artist and Artisan series of events, which has previously featured artists such as Kevin Borich, Sam Buckingham, 8 Ball Aitken and Aspy Jones. On the night you will also get an opportunity to view and purchase artworks by Stephen Hill of Bulumbeer Gallery.
Tickets are available at the Imbil Post Office, at the MVCH markets at Pomona Sat Morning and at Dagun Station from3-5pm on Saturdays, or online trybooking.com/events/landing/1030584
