Things Of Stone & Wood

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Things of Stone and Wood are touring once again in their original lineup, for the first time since 1997 for a limited run of special shows, playing favorites from across their multi-decade career including “Happy Birthday Helen” and many more. With special guest: CARUS THOMPSON – a huge draw card in his own right after tours with John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, Pete Murray and knock out performances at all the major festivals. UNMISSABLE

Twenty-five years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone & Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s.

Off the back of their top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’, the band achieved national success, international tours, a gold album ‘The Yearning’ and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would place them as one of Australia’s most loved Folk-Rock bands.

Described as “Melbourne’s most inspired and
inspiring acoustic band” (Michael Dwyer), their
imaginative use of organic instruments set off an
acoustic/folk movement that paved the way for the likes of John Butler, The Waifs and Angus & Julia Stone.

Their live show has always been full of energy and passion and whilst they’ve won many an industry award, including an ARIA and APRA Songwriter of the Year, it’s on stage that demonstrates why they’re so loved.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Things of Stone and Wood are touring once again in their original lineup, for the first time since 1997 for a limited run of special shows, playing favorites from across their multi-decade career.

International troubadour Carus Thompson will open, a huge draw card in his own right after tours with John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnson, Pete Murray and knock out performances at all the major festivals.

This is a folk-rock double bill not to miss.
