Aussie music legend, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rick Price is set to hit the Mackay stage, not only to deliver an unforgettable night of live music, but also to lend his support to local domestic violence charity Broken Ballerina Inc.
Price will perform at Souths Leagues Club on Wednesday, November 6 at 7pm as part of his Tamborine Mountain 30th Anniversary Tour, celebrating three decades since the release of his iconic album. A portion of every ticket sold will go directly to helping survivors of domestic and family violence in the Mackay region.
The partnership will see $10 from every Mackay ticket and $5 from each Bowen ticket (from Rick’s November 7 performance at the Grand View Hotel) donated to Broken Ballerina Inc – a local not-for-profit that provides crucial support, advocacy and emergency assistance to victim-survivors across the community.
Broken Ballerina founder Jules Thompson said the collaboration is a powerful reminder of how music can help create meaningful change.
“We’re incredibly grateful for Rick’s support and so excited to see him perform live here in Mackay,” Jules said.
“Every $10 of the Mackay Tickets purchased goes directly towards helping victim-survivors in our community, so we’re truly thankful. It’s going to be an awesome night.”
In another act of generosity, Price will also sign a guitar to be auctioned during the event, with all funds raised going towards Broken Ballerina Inc.
Rick Price has long been a household name in Australian music, with a career spanning more than three decades and hit singles including Heaven Knows, Not a Day Goes By, River of Love, and Bridge Building Man.
His acclaimed 1995 album Tamborine Mountain, inspired by the lush Gold Coast hinterland region near Beaudesert, featured collaborations with Tommy Emmanuel on Foolish Heart and Tina Arena on the emotional duet Trust Me This Is Love.
Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Price’s national tour will see him perform songs from Tamborine Mountain alongside fan favourites from his extensive catalogue, bringing his signature heartfelt style to audiences across the country.
“Having someone like Rick Price help shine a light on domestic violence awareness is incredibly special,” said Jules.
“Grab your tickets, meet Rick, and don’t miss your chance to bid on a signed guitar!”
