Celebrate pioneering women of Aussie pop and rock with Amplified Assembly\u2019s Unsung as part of Geelong Arts Centre Our Season 2022.<\/p>\n

Join award-winning cabaret powerhouses Amelia Ryan and Libby O\u2019Donovan on Saturday, May 21, in a rollicking, raucous celebration of songs and stories from 1960s Australia that pay homage to female Aussie music icons who blazed the trails for generations to come.<\/p>\n

On a hot summer\u2019s day in 1965, Merle Thornton \u2013 mother of Seachange\u2019s beloved Sigrid Thornton \u2013 and Rosalie Bogner walked into the public bar of the Regatta Hotel in Brisbane, calmly chained themselves to the bar rail, and ordered a beer.<\/p>\n

What happened next would change the course of Australian history \u2013 and a little less obviously, the course of music in Australia for women, forever.<\/p>\n

Hear the likes of Lynne Randell, Little Patti, Judy Stone, Marcie Jones, Margret Roadknight, Wendy Saddington, and Alison McCallum, in an uplifting hour of entertainment.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Unsung brings together superb vocals, stories and strength.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Through history, heart, and hilarity, they bring these incredible women \u2013 and their music \u2013 out of the sidelines, and into their rightful place in Aussie music history!<\/p>\n

Beautifully written and performed by Amelia Ryan, and featuring Libby O\u2019Donovan; recent winner of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival 2022 Icon Award, Unsung brings together superb vocals, stories and strength.<\/p>\n

With two performances \u2013 a 1pm matinee and 7.30pm evening show \u2013 at Deakin University\u2019s Costa Hall, Unsung is a live music experience not to be missed. The show is recommended for ages 15-plus.<\/p>\n
