The Australian Eagles are set to bring their signature blend of country rock back to the Airlie Beach Hotel in August, promising two laid-back afternoons packed with all the hits fans know and love.
Founder and band member Shayne Browne said the group has been playing in Airlie Beach for over six years now, with two to three performances a year, and Shane said it’s always a highlight.
“We love it,” Shayne said.
“The town, the people, the pub, it’s great. It’s just got such a relaxed vibe.
We’ve even been stranded here during a flood, but mind you it’s not a bad place to be stranded!”
The Australian Eagles show celebrates the timeless music of the legendary American band, The Eagles, who have been entertaining fans since 1972. It was The Eagles that got Shayne into music after hearing ‘Take It Easy’ back in 1972.
“I was about 10 years old when I first heard Take It Easy on the radio in my mum’s car. I told her then and there I wanted to play music for a living.”
At the Airlie Beach Hotel, you can expect all the classics like ‘One of These Nights’, ‘Life in the Fast Lane’, ‘New Kid in Town’, ‘Take It Easy’, and of course ‘Hotel California’.
The group’s enduring popularity has seen them tour across Australia and internationally, including cruise ships and festivals like the Outback Festival Winton and even a five-year run at Melbourne’s Crown Casino.
The Australian Eagles Show has been running for 10 years and Shayne says the highlight of all these years is hanging back after performances and chatting to audience members and thanking them for coming.
Despite performing at major venues, Shayne says Airlie Beach remains one of the most unique places they play.
“The setup at the Airlie Beach Hotel is like nowhere else,” he said.
“People eating on one side, dancing on the other, and the public walking through the middle of it all, it’s really unique.”
Fans can catch the Australian Eagles for free on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, mid-August, at the Airlie Beach Hotel’s Beach Bar.
“It’s the only venue in Australia we play for free,” Shayne said.
For a chilled show filled with relaxing rock, the Airlie Beach Hotel will be the place to be.
