One of Australia’s finest young acoustic guitarists, Elias Bartholomeo is coming to the Whitsundays for a surprise concert on Thursday 28th May on an impromptu stopover during his 2026 Queensland tour.  

Previously, Elias has been playing solo concerts across Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan, combining a blend of blues, country and jazz in his melody-driven compositions, and performing engaging arrangements of well-known songs. His live performances are known for his contagious humour and his energy, with his guitar playing described as ‘walking a tight rope between many genres all at once’. 

This Whitsunday concert will feature support act Cameron Hanger, a talented young acoustic guitarist. Together the two musicians, both of whom have performed with their mentor, the legendary Tommy Emmanuel, will treat Whitsunday music lovers to a night of great live music.  

The gig will take place at the iconic Buffalo Lodge Hall on Edward Street, Proserpine, with bookings available online or cash taken at the door. There is also a student concession available.
