Catch Fred Smith and the Urban Sea Shanties Community Choir on Saturday, September 10 for a phenomenal one-night only performance.
The show is the culmination of months of practice under the guidance of choral leaders Andrew Price and Seija Knight.
The choir was formed in May this year following a call out to the singers of the ranges, with the intention of getting more people to fall in love with community singing while promoting the health benefits of crooning in a crowd.
Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson said residents were lucky to be involved in the experience and wished the performers well ahead of the night.
“I think the audience will be captivated by this unique show,” Cr Anderson said.
“From Fred’s thought-provoking and sometimes humorous lyrics through to the accompanying vocals of our very own Urban Sea Shanties Community Choir, it really will be a show not to be missed.
“I encourage everyone to go along to Kyneton Town Hall and enjoy a great night out.”
The singing group is made up of 38 locals aged 12 to 80+, who will sing alongside celebrated singer-songwriter Fred Smith and his four-piece band.
Smith is known for his musical storytelling, his songs both sad and witty, reflecting on his journey in life – including his time as an Australian diplomat living in a war zone.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for concession and $10 for children. The show is at 7.30pm, September 10 at Kyneton Town Hall.
