Elvis to the Max - The King in Concert

Featuring – Max Pellicano

It’s 35 years since the passing of “The King”, but Elvis Presley’s legend lives on in the guise of Max Pellicano, whose uncanny resemblance and thrilling performances have mesmerised Australians over the last two decades.

Max’s tribute goes beyond impersonation. His looks, moves, vocal style, impressions and humour are so accurate it’s truly amazing. The attitude – shy but confident – that Max Pellicano mimics, with a rich Mississippi drawl, is typically Elvis. Even his costumes are exact replicas, made by Elvis’s personal tailor.

The Elvis To The Max production, The King In Concert, will be presented in three stages: King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – the '50s Masters; the ’68 Comeback TV Special that was regarded as a forerunner of the “Unplugged” concept; and the music concert called Aloha From Hawaii.  In true Elvis-style, Max will be supported by an 11-piece band and four back-up singers.

Elvis To The Max – The King In Concert is being presented in Australia by Abstract Entertainment.

Show Dates: Friday 19 April 2013 

Adam Brand & Beccy Cole - I Was Here 2013 Tour

Featuring – Adam Brand and Beccy Cole

If ever there was a concert line up not to miss out on….then this is it! Two of Australia’s biggest and best, a young gun hungry and ready to rock, and a veteran top level musician embarking on a solo project that everyone’s talking about.

It’s fair to say that ADAM BRAND had a 2012 that many artists dream about. The highest charting Australian country album of the year, capital city airplay on mainstream radio networks, MIX FM and Triple M local works, TV syncs (Farmer wants a wife), national TV campaign for Salvos Christmas Appeal using current single, “I Was Here”, sell out concert dates, TV appearances on Sunrise, Morning Show, TEN late news, Better Homes and Garden, and to top it off, signed by Channel 7 as a new host on “The Great Outdoors”!! His latest album “There Will Be Love” is being heralded as his best ever! This is an artist at the top of his game and 2013 is already shaping up to be even bigger.

What a year BECCY COLE has had, recently taking home two Golden Guitars at the 2012 40th Jayco Country Music awards of Australia. Winning the top awards for Female Artist of the Year and Vocal Collaboration of the Year (with Kasey Chambers) has brought Beccy’s Golden Guitar total to an impressive nine. Add to this her 3 Gold records, 12 number one singles, 2 Entertainer of the year awards and a legion of loyal fans, Beccy has again proved she is here to stay.

Anyone who has ever seen Beccys live show knows this is one performer who gives it everything and knows how to deliver!

TRAVIS COLLINS is as well-known for his masterful guitar playing and stellar vocals as he is for his storytelling style of song-writing. Travis is a powerful performer and it’s only a matter of time before the world finds out about this budding superstar!

SUZI QUATRO had this to say after watching Travis open her shows on her last Australian tour – “I watched Travis go out there simply with his voice, guitar, and his warmth and blow ‘my audience’ away.”

MATT CORNELL is one of Australia’s up & coming country artists, who for the past decade has been an in demand musician & backing vocalist, who has toured the world with some of the biggest names in the music business. His new single,‘Days Too remember’ is airing nationally on CMC, & his new Ep will be on iTunes early 2013.

Get your ticket early coz this one will sell out fast!

Crew and Cast of Time Warp Choose Metro Hotel Ipswich International - Metro Hotels

It’s astounding, time is fleeting and madness will take its toll at the Metro Hotel Ipswich International this month when the cast and crew of Time Warp: the Original Rocky Horror Tribute Show move in.

With two performances at the Ipswich Civic Centre on February 20 and 21, Metro Hotel Ipswich International agreed to play host to the colourful cast of the outrageous Time Warp show, including the Sweet Transvestite from Transylvania, Frank N Furter.

While the hotel staff may want to take a step to the left when the cast and crew arrive, audiences will be jumping to the right, placing their hands on their hips and bringing their knees in tight as they reminisce the 70s, doing the Time Warp again with the talented cast of one of the craziest musical horror shows ever to grace the stage.

The Time Warp Tribute Show features many of Australia’s most talented musical theatre performers who boast having been involved in many of the country’s most loved musicals. The production was created by veteran theatre/television director Elissa Meyer-Thomas and has toured nationally, regionally and internationally to sell out houses.

The cast and crew elected to stay at the four and a half star rated Metro Hotel Ipswich International, which is boutique in size but equipped with all the facilities of a much larger hotel.

The hotel has 97 well-appointed rooms including 11 one-bedroom Serviced Apartments, two Executive Spa Suites, 68 Superior rooms and 16 Deluxe rooms in six storeys overlooking pristine parklands.

When not performing, the Time Warp cast and crew will be perfectly placed to enjoy everything Queensland’s oldest provincial city has to offer, including the Workshops Rail Museum, steam trains, more than 500 parks, wineries, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and shopping centres.

The hotel is also close to the many art galleries, markets, craft and antique stores that the city is renowned for, while the hotel’s signature restaurant Platform 9 serves a delicious a-la-carte menu. Adjoining the main restaurant is a stylish lounge and bar, perfect for catching a glimpse of cast members before or after the show.
