    Stuart Ayres Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney MEDIA RELEASE Saturday, 13 June 2020 NEW MUSIC EVENT BRINGS 1,000 GIGS TO SYDNEY AND NSW — HUGE BOOST FOR TOURISM AND ARTISTS A new music event will bring 1,000 COVID-safe gigs to Sydney and regional NSW in November, giving Australian artists a welcome boost and turbocharging live music venues across the state. Great Southern Nights is a NSW Government initiative delivered by its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW in partnership with the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) to support the recovery of the live music, entertainment and hospitality industries. Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the gigs would be a welcome antidote to the challenges presented by COVID-19, bushfires and the prolonged drought. “This celebration of outstanding Australian artists and incredible live music venues across NSW gives us all something to look forward to, from event-goers to industry,” Minister Ayres said. “We’ll be able to get out and see Sydney and regional NSW come to life with some of Australia’s top acts including Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins and Tones and I alongside emerging artists in unexpected places. “We’re inviting venues across NSW, from the bush to the city, to nominate to be involved in this exciting new event. “With the NSW Government’s 24-hour economy strategy set to reinvigorate Sydney’s nightlife, Great Southern Nights will be a big step forward for our state’s live music and hospitality community that has been hit hard in recent times.” Among the 20 headline acts to play across the music event are (in alphabetical order): • Jimmy Barnes • Birds of Tokyo • Missy Higgins • The Jungle Giants • Paul Kelly • Thelma Plum • The Presets • Amy Shark • Tash Sultana • The Teskey Brothers • Tones and I • The Veronicas Established and emerging local Australian artists will present 1,000 gigs, curated by ARIA and an industry advisory committee across a multitude of venues around NSW.

  • Songwriter Extraordinaire Billy Vera Stops in for a Very Interesting Chat "The Person Who Doesn't Scatter the Morning Dew Will Not Comb Gray Hairs." Hunter S
    For Immediate Release Contact: Andy Goldfinger Grand Poohbah Flying Eye Radio Network ASCAP/BMI (818) 917-5183 Songwriter Extraordinaire Billy Vera Stops In For A Very Interesting Chat "The Person Who Doesn't Scatter The Morning Dew Will Not Comb Gray Hairs." Hunter S. Thompson, Famed American Philosopher Malibu, California, November 29, 2012 - This week’s addition of the Flying Eye Radio Network’s Music Gumbo features musician and songwriter Billy Vera in a candid interview with host Andy Goldfinger. Growing up with both parents in the entertainment industry, Vera began his music career when he was still a teenager with the first song he ever presented to a publisher, “Mean Old World,” becoming a chart hit for Ricky Nelson. Since then Vera has found success in songwriting, writing songs for artists such as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, Fats Domino, and his own band Billy & the Beaters. In the mid-80s, Vera received a phone call from the producer of the popular series “Family Ties” that changed his career. They wanted to use the Billy & the Beaters song "At This Moment” in an episode that resulted in great public response and sprang the song to #1 nationally. Billy Vera’s career does not stop there with music. Vera has taken on side-projects including appearing in various cult movies and TV shows such as his recurring role on “Beverly Hills, 90210.” He has also taken up voiceover acting and can be heard singing the theme song to the popular show “King of Queens.” Vera continues to write music with his most recent album, “Big Band Jazz,” released earlier in the month.
