Women in docs head home
THE Bluewater Community Centre will play host to Townsville’s own women in docs on November 21.
Duo Roz Pappalardo and Chanel Lucas are heading back to their hometown, joined by Karl S. Williams, for the Festival of Small Halls Summer Tour 2020: Queensland.
Women in docs have built a fiercely loyal following throughout Australia, as well as internationally.
With a reputation for stirring and humorous live performances, women in docs provide a refreshing acousticstyled experience that is loved by audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds.
“Growing up in Townsville, I was always very excited when touring bands came to town,” Lucas said.
“I remember seeing Things of Stone and Wood at the show grounds and being blown away by their music and energy.
“This regional tour is very important to me because I hope that it will provide that kind of memory to other people.
“I’m also looking forward to finally playing live after a long time off the stage this year.”
Karl S. Williams is a multiaward-winning singer/songwriter/instrumentalist who brings complete humility and the charisma of a “rock star” to the stage.
Praised to the heavens by industry heavyweights, audiences and the media alike, Williams brings a voice that simply has to be heard to be believed.
He has amassed a loyal following after a string of earthshattering live shows, and is looking forward to connecting with communities in a more intimate way on the Festival of Small Halls Summer Tour.
“Music and community are inextricable so I believe it is truly important work to bring people together with song,” Williams said.
“I grew up in small towns so I know they are often overlooked when it comes to touring.
“I also know they are filled with the most willing hearts and generous souls so it is well worth taking a few side roads to play for beautiful people in beautiful places.
“The events of 2020 have really driven home the importance of community and I look forward to participating in these communities – in some small way – through this Small Halls tour.”
Presented by veteran festival producers Woodfordia Inc, the 20th edition of the much loved not-for-profit music tour is taking on a packed tour schedule with the finest of Queensland’s homegrown talent to 10 community halls. These stalwarts of community life have been drawn from across the rich and diverse landscapes of Queensland.
Famous for their largerthan-life folk festivals over the last two decades, Woodfordia presents a program to be loved by their core base and new fans alike with longtime audience favourites women in docs and striking acclaimed blues singer Karl S. Williams.
