Before they bid adieu, they’re going out with a bang! So, don’t miss your last chance to experience the magic of GuitarBar Show this Sunday, 6 August. It’s going to be one heck of a hurrah!
Brad Luke, the mastermind behind GuitarBar, has poured his heart and soul into this initiative, providing a much-needed platform for local talents to showcase their skills and entertain the crowds. The atmosphere at GuitarBar Show was always electric, with a strong sense of community and support among locals. Brad’s passion for performance art, live music, and entertainment was evident in the care he put into curating each show. It was all about locals supporting locals, and the event quickly became a hotspot for music lovers in the area.
We can’t thank him enough for the fantastic journey he’s taken us on over these five wonderful years.
And of course, the GuitarBar Show would be nothing without the incredible musicians – both emerging and seasoned – who graced its stage, featuring a diverse range of musical genres and styles. To all the artists who poured their hearts out in every performance, thank you for sharing your music and talent with us. You’ve made these Sundays unforgettable.
The Geelong community has cherished these shows, and it’s clear that the GuitarBar Show has had a profound impact on both the musicians and the patrons. It’s been a celebration of music, creativity, and the power of local talent.
