Get ready, Airlie Beach. A high-energy piano party is heading this way, and it promises to be unlike anything you’ve seen before.
After almost a year of wowing crowds across the country, this interactive sing-along show known as Sing On Social is making its debut at the Airlie Beach Hotel.
The concept, created and performed by Tim Sponder, mixes all the classic party anthems into one epic mash-up.
“I make a mash up of all the great, classic songs, and all the lyrics come up on big screens,” he explained.
“Everybody is into it straight away. All the songs are classic songs, so everybody knows what the songs are.
“It’s a pretty high energy show.”
The show includes songs like Livin’ on a Prayer, Dancing Queen, Piano Man, some modern songs and some classic rock and Aussie rock.
Tim mixes the songs all together, some tracks are 90 seconds long, some are shorter some are longer. He grabs the best parts of the biggest tracks, mashes them together and creates a show.
Tim draws inspiration from the vibrant piano bars of Norway and combines it with his experience in London’s pub and club scene as a manager.
Tim said it’s nice to be back performing.
“It's sort of like going back to your roots and that’s always a good thing isn’t it,” he said.
“I have sort of hopped back on the piano, as opposed to behind a computer screen, which is really good. And I'm very excited about where it's headed.”
Airlie Beach locals can expect a late-night session packed with good vibes, a thumping stomp box beat, and a soundtrack of crowd favourites. And while this may be the artist’s first time playing in Airlie, the anticipation is high.
“I know it’s a cracking venue, and everyone says Airlie Beach is always up for a party. I’m looking forward to getting there and getting this party started,” said Tim.
After Airlie, the performer is heading back to the UK for a string of summer festivals but not before turning up the volume in the Whitsundays.
If you’re ready to belt out the classics, don’t miss the Sing On Social at the Airlie Beach Hotel where the lyrics are on screen, the energy is contagious, and the good times are guaranteed.
