On the 17th of April 2014, at the Hobart City hall, Tasmanian audiences witnessed
the musical talents of the John Butler Trio. This Australian band was originally
formed in 1998, and since then has gained great international success. Since the
release of their latest album this year, titled Flesh and blood, the John Butler Trio
have undertaken a national tour around Australia, to showcase their new work.
Upon arriving at the venue at 7pm. I quickly found a seat with a good view of the
stage and sat down with anticipation for the concert to begin. After waiting for around
45 minutes my excitement began to fade and I soon grew impatient and tiered of
listening to strange trance music that was played over the speakers throughout the
venue. After waiting further 20 minutes the supporting act came out to play their
set. This act comprised of Mama Kin, who is John Butler’s wife, and some other
musicians that were not introduced. Her performance consisted of songs from her
new album The Magician’s Daughter, with her set being comprised of eight songs,
including: Rescue, One Too Many and Give Me A Reason. Mama Kin’s voice was
tender to listen to and through out every song she poured both heart and soul, with
every minute of her performance showing her passion for her craft. Mama Kin’s
stage presence was strong and relaxed. Her performance was also entertaining
between songs, as she put both the audience and her self at ease by telling some

Rimes also performed the song that started it all, “Blue” in a way that shows the maturity of her vocal and music creativity and stylings. Full of emotion Rimes also performed “How Do I Live,” “He Stopped Loving Her Today, “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way,” and closed with the semi-biographical “What I Cannot Change.” Performing the famed Elton John classic “Rocket Man” as her one and only encore, fans still could not get enough of
While waiting for the concert to begin, my friends and I walked around the fair looking at the different

Aaliyah was my best friend, we told eachother everything, I was there with her when she first recorded her first song, we sang together, we even wrote a song together, i thought of her like a little sister, little did I know of the short time I had with her. I remember when I first heard of her, she was performing in Las Vegas with the famous singer Gladys Knight. You should have seen my face full of shock and awe as I heard this eleven year old’s voice, the way she hit all the right notes, and how her voice blended perfectly with Gladys was amazing. From that point on I knew she was going to be a superstar, and that I wanted her, no needed to have her in one of my albums. Three years later, yet again she surprises me by her debut album with

Nina Simone was and is something potent, fascinating for some people. Once people heard her, they could not avoid the fact that she was an incredible musician. She is considered as a jazz, rock, pop, folk, black musician. A repertoire broad as hers, ranging from melodic songs, blues, spiritual songs, and gospel to themes borrowed from African folklore, made her an artist difficult to classify, and in fact her biography appears in compilations of literature on Jazz, Rock, Pop and Soul. As one critic has said, she was all and nothing: an independent and temperamental spirit, unique and incomparable. She was Nina
There was so much speculation as to what the band would open with for their 25th anniversary show, and in the most spectacular fashion, they opened with one for their oldest songs, The Song That Jane likes. To make that moment even more special, Dave's sister Jane was in the crowd watching the show. After a stellar opener, the band was no doubt feeding off the crowd's energy. 6 songs into the set list was when the audience was caught off guard by the 1st of the 3 new songs to be debuted that night. The 3 new songs played that night held the titles of, Samurai Cop, Bob Law, and Bismarck. All of them were very highly received by an ecstatic crowd. The band did a fantastic job of blending old classics in with their new age material to keep the energy up. In another surprising turn of events, the band liberated 2 songs that had not been played in years, the 1st of the 2 being a fan favorite, Sugar Will, and the 2nd being the legendary song, The Last Stop.
Moments later I could hear the beating drums, and the electronic music sounding from all the speakers, no movement on stage besides the flickering lights. The crowd fell silent, awaiting the moment for Tyler Joseph (the lead singer) to enter the stage. The lights dimmed, the music stopped, the crowd grew stiff and the world stood still. Then, the sounds abruptly bursted my ears. I immediately remembered the song and sang along to it, even though my raspy voice hurt my throat, it was something to add
