John Swan ‘Swanee’ is coming to the Airlie Beach this weekend for two afternoon shows Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 at the Airlie Beach Hotel.
His arrival at the Airlie Beach Hotel comes just before his new album is released. Swanee's brand new album titled ‘Believe’ will come out August 1, and it is an album that’s set to have all fans of Australian rock music in awe.
15 out of 16 tracks features an Aussie rock legend, including his two brothers Alan and Jimmy Barnes. It also features his niece Mahalia Barnes, and music royalty including:
This is Swanee’s first album in 11 years, and it's almost unheard of to see an album with this many guests.
In his expansive career Swanee has joined numerous bands, climbed the national charts but in recent times he’s done work away from the spotlight.
In 2015, he was honoured as South Australia’s Senior Australian of the Year for his tireless work supporting social causes. Then in 2017, he received the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), acknowledging his contributions to both music and charitable work.
Among his many initiatives, Swanee partnered with war veteran Rob Pickersgill to launch the Warrior Music Project, a program designed to aid the mental health and wellbeing of veterans, police, and emergency service personnel through the power of music.
He is a longtime supporter of the Salvation Army, Swanee has focused on key issues such as homelessness and rehabilitation. He also co-founded the Autism Music Fund, blending his musical talent with his dedication to making a difference. In addition, he actively promotes awareness for ovarian cancer.
When Swanee arrives in Airlie Beach he is going to join forces two of Australia’s Premier Tribute shows Gold Chisel and The Power & The Passion Midnight Oil tribute. It promises to be an unforgettable weekend of rock.
Swanee will hit the stage with a set of his own crowd favourites before teaming up with Gold Chisel to deliver a few iconic Cold Chisel classics.
Gold Chisel and The Australian Midnight Oil Show are no strangers to the Airlie Beach Hotel stage, consistently putting on high-energy performances and with Swanee in the mix, this show is shaping up to be something truly special.
