One of the most popular and best-selling Australian musical artists of all time will be honoured with the highest form of flattery in two unique tribute shows coming to the Airlie Beach Hotel in October.
Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his famed Soul Deep album, the ‘Soul Chisel’ Ultimate Jimmy Barnes tribute band will bring one of the most faithful encapsulations of Jimmy’s solo career to The Pub, creating two afternoons to remember.
The Working Class Man is the heart and soul of Aussie rock music – he conjures up the sound of ear-splitting volume, the tune of soul standards given a unique voice and reading – and Soul Chisel bring all that magic of Barnsey with them in their recreation coming to the coastal town of Airlie Beach.
In the first of two shows, Soul Chisel will celebrate the legacy of Barnesy on Saturday afternoon in an unforgettable performance that focuses on his fifth album. They will get the Good Times flowing.
Through the lens of Soul Deep – a collection of soul covers and duets with John Farnham – Soul Chisel encapsulate what makes Barnesy the very best there is.
Through a Rock N’ Rolling tour of Jimmy’s soul covers and onto his biggest Cold Chisel hits, Soul Chisel create an electric atmosphere.
That atmosphere is thanks to their ability to not only recreate the sound but also the look of Barnesy, with front man Steve Callanan a scarily close look alike with one of Australia’s biggest selling artists.
Callanan leads the show and has the vocal power to match his almost uncanny resemblance to Barnesy. He’s even made appearances on The Voice Australia, where he performed in front of the likes of Delta Goodrum and Guy Sebastian and had them convinced by his vocals!
On Sunday, they’ll back up their performance with a unique blend of two songs in a row from The best of Barnes and Chisel, as well as your favourite Aussie bands and much, much more.
Don’t miss Soul Chisel when they bring (Simply) The Best Cold Chisel tribute show to the local’s favourite local for two afternoons of Barnesy at The Airlie Beach Hotel.
