SWAN Hill has secured a music superstar, with Wendy Matthews to grace the Town Hall stage in May.
She released top-20 hit singles in the 1990s including Token Angels, Let’s Kiss (Like Angels Do), The Day You Went Away and Friday’s Child.
Matthews will be joined in the heart of the Murray by Grace Knight, also a multi-award winning artist with a swag of Countdown, MTV and ARIA awards.
In their first show together, and for a limited time, these legends of Australian music present the songs of one of the world’s greatest living songwriters.
Along with an all-star band, Matthews and Knight will take the audience on an unforgettable journey across the hits and crowd favourites.
Friends for many years, the duo have been looking for a break in their hectic performing schedules so they could join forces and do a show together.
“We’re Going To Graceland – The Songs of Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel” showcases the vocal talents of these two music-industry giants and they will thrill audiences with their interpretations of an iconic collection of songs.
Matthews arrived in Australia in 1982 and immediately established herself as an in-demand session singer, performing on albums by Jimmy Barnes, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton and Icehouse.
Knight arrived in Australia in 1977 after singing her way across the world.
The performance is on Friday, May 17 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost between $59.90 and $69.90.
