Welcome to the Hotel California where there’s money for nothing and the chicks are free – ok maybe not the Hotel California but the Australian Eagle Show and the Money For Nothin: Dire Straits experience are coming to the Kings Beach Tavern, Caloundra on 11 January and
Redland Performing Arts Centre in October.
It’s a chance to enjoy the music of two the Hall of Fame icons concert through two fairly legendary tributes acts.
The Australian Eagles Show, known for their pitch-perfect renditions of Eagles classics, is fronted by the talented Michael Thompson and Shayne Browne.
The five-piece band has wowed audiences across the globe with their meticulous recreation of the Eagles’ timeless hits. From the melodic ‘Desperado’ to the high-octane ‘Life in the Fast Lane,’ and the soulful ‘New Kid in Town,’ every performance is a journey through the Eagles’ storied catalog. Fans can also look forward to tributes to the solo hits of Joe Walsh, Don Henley, and the late Glenn Frey.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1971, the Eagles achieved legendary status with five number-one singles, six Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, six number-one albums, and over 150 million records sold worldwide. Their ‘Eagles Greatest Hits’ album remains one of the best-selling albums of the 20th century, and the Australian Eagles Show brings this legacy to life with an authenticity that is second to none.
Joining Australian Eagles is Money For Nothin: Dire Straits Experience, a tribute formed in 2017 that captures the essence of one of the most beloved groups from the 70s and 80s.
Led by the seasoned Terry McMahon, who takes on the guitar skills and vocals of the legendary Mark Knopfler, Money For Nothin delivers a performance that evokes this legendary British band. With a five-piece live band, they recreate the iconic sound of Dire Straits.
Dire Straits, formed in 1977, is celebrated for their distinctive sound that blends rock, jazz, and blues.
