Ella Hooper – Summer Tour

Ella Hooper is hitting the road this summer bringing a sharp, heartfelt edge to her ever-evolving take on Americana. Ella’s gift for story-telling and humour shines as she fronts a dynamic band, laced with fiddle, slide guitar, warm group harmonies and more than a little grit.

Playing some favourites from Small Town Temple the album that debuted at No.1 on the Australian Country chart, Ella will also be sharing a sneak peek of new music recorded in Nashville in 2025.

There are bar room stompers, spectral ballads with a contemporary edge, and hooks sharp enough to draw blood.

Call it Americana, call it alt-country, call it what you like. Hooper puts it this way: “Can you really ‘go country’ if you’re from the country in the first place?”

About the Exhibitions
We Are Studios: Acts of Inheritance
Acts of Inheritance presents new work from seventeen Disabled artists who explore identity as something lived, layered and continually remade. We come to know ourselves through small, everyday acts and performances – our own and those of others, families, cultures and communities as they leave their mark upon us.
Some artists revisit family stories or inherited acts; others reflect on Disability, mental health, and shifting perceptions of self and how we perform it. Here, inheritance is not fixed or predetermined, but enacted through the choices we make, the stories we tell and the ways we show up for one another.
Through these works, Acts of Inheritance invites us to imagine identity as something performed in ongoing dialogue between who we have been, who we are becoming and the worlds that shape us.
We Are Studios is a 100% Disability-led, artist-run initiative empowering Disabled Western Sydney artists to thrive.
Artists: Aili Brenton, Virginia Bucknell, Ria Cirera-Cruz, Taylah Devlin, Holly-lee Dickson, Georgina Evans, Nina Frankie, Leanne Larwood, Timothy W. Martin, Grazia Napoletano, Adrienne Proud, Rebecca Sciroli, Kiri Smith, Jane Thatcher, Miah Tito-Barratt, Jordan Valageorgiou, Eden Young.

Liz Bryan: Pattern Recognition
Liz Bryan is a visual artist and designer working across drawing, painting, textiles, sculpture and digital media. Her practice is shaped by an ongoing interest in esoteric knowledge, mythologies and ritual, and engages with themes of womanhood, place, and the hidden or overlooked histories of feminine experience. Moving fluidly between art and craft, Liz’s work also reflects on the intersections of science, mysticism and material knowledge.
For Pattern Recognition at BRAG, Liz presents a body of work that explores the microcosmic world and the underlying geometry inherent in biological structures. Informed by sacred geometry and esoteric traditions outlined in Plato’s Timaeus, the exhibition draws on the symbolism of the five Platonic solids—earth, water, air, fire and ether—as metaphors for both physical and metaphysical systems. The relationship between microcosm and macrocosm, particularly as seen in DNA structures and natural patterning, underpins the work.
Through this work Liz explores the esoteric potential of shape, line, colour and form. Historic textile motifs, including ogee forms and repeating half-brick patterns, further inform the visual language of the exhibition. Through sculptures and paintings, Pattern Recognition reveals pattern as a connective force—linking matter, meaning and the unseen structures that shape our world.

She hires Ryan Bradley, who has just returned to the remote town of Nashville as a lawyer, to get answers. Was it suicide? An accident? Or murder? In small towns, nothing is quite what it seems.

Endorsed by the Gibb family and original Bee Gees musicians, the core trio of Evan Webster (Barry Gibb), Russell Davey (Robin Gibb) and Greg Wain (Maurice Gibb), will be joined by special guest vocalist Debora McLane (Bee Gees niece).

From You Should Be Dancing to the “Greatest” chart busters and memories which defined the decade: Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, I started a Joke, Jive Talking, Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Nights on Broadway and so much more.

This will be the 28th year playing Barry Gibb for Evan Webster who is also the creator, producer and coordinator of the Best of the Bee Gees. Most weekends, Evan appreciates the time on tour with his ‘on the road family’ sharing stories and performing to new audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Manila, Spain, Portugal, the UK and global cruise ships including “The World” luxury liner.

Greg Wain’s European career highlights include performing at the Royal Albert Hall, international touring with London’s acclaimed vocal group Shout, operatic productions with Pro Musica Chorus of London, sharing the stage with Jose Carreras in Carmen, the Jools Holland Big Band, West End Starlight Express and since 2017, playing Maurice with the Best of the Bee Gees in Australia.

Russell Davey has toured New Caledonia, South Africa, Hong Kong, Canada, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand and the UK with multiple tribute shows. He joined the Best of the Bee Gees in 2013 and has shared the stage at sea with Suzie Quatro, Tony Hadley, Belinda Carlisle, Go West and others.

This troupe of seasoned musicians received standing ovations during their 25th anniversary in 2023/24, national concerts this year and most recently, 11 shows throughout New Zealand’s North Island.

It would be a Tragedy to miss the Best of the Bee Gees’ sensational, retrospective show “Greatest”!

About the Artist
Rebecca (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist, facilitator and advocate. She works primarily in sculpture and installation, wearables, performance, painting and drawing. Rebecca’s work often touches on memory and emotional connection through sensory stimuli, femininity, sensuality and empowering feminist work. The fine balance of fragility and resilience is explored through Rebecca’s conceptual and performative practice, expressed through a sensory connection of energy and touch. Rebecca uses improvised experimental drawing devices (IEDD) for mark making that records her disabled body and how it can move. Rebecca has an ongoing practice of producing self-portraits throughout her recovery from a D.V. assault, and life in a disabled body. Rebecca is an artist and board member at We Are Studios.

With music and lyrics by ABC Radio’s Nick Rheinberger, Tia Wilson stars as Gladys in several colourful blazers. It’s got big rock numbers, epic ballads, Armenian matchmaking, tap dancing and even more musical press conferences.

“Political satire at its finest. A rollicking ride through Covid and the ICAC inquiry.”
Kelly Burke, The Guardian”

Brian Kelly, The Illawarra Flame
