REGIONAL songwriter Glenn Musto will entertain audiences at Three Dams Estate with music, storytelling and heartfelt connection over the King’s Birthday long weekend.<\/p>\n

Central Highlands-based Musto has spent more than 30 years writing songs and touring across Australia.<\/p>\n

In recent years his life has taken a new turn as he operates an animal sanctuary north-west of Melbourne where he writes and records music surrounded by rescued and native wildlife.<\/p>\n

“It changes the way you see the world,” Musto said.<\/p>\n

“Living closely with animals and country strips things back.<\/p>\n

“It reminds you what matters and what stories are actually worth telling.”<\/p>\n

As well as songs spanning decades of songwriting, Musto will share the stories behind the music and reflections on creativity, emotional growth, regional life and human connection.<\/p>\n

“There’s a beautiful honesty to regional audiences,” he said.<\/p>\n

“People are looking for real experiences. Not perfection, just something human.”<\/p>\n

Set in the rustic wine shed, the performances will aim to present a memorable and reflective long weekend experience for locals and visitors.<\/p>\n

Glenn Musto will perform at Three Dams Estate, 80 Nicholsons Lane, Heathcote, from 1pm on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June.<\/p>\n
