Karralyka Under the Stars with

The Black Sorrows and Vika & Linda Outdoor eventJoin us for an evening under the stars on the Karralyka lawn and experience two of Australia’s much-loved musical acts as they light up the outdoor stage in two separate show stopping performances.

Vika & Linda Bull have one of the most distinctive, versatile and emotionally charged sounds on the Australian music landscape. The sisters have forged diverse pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of their Tongan ancestry.

Following the fabulous Vika & Linda Bull we will welcome to the Karralyka stage for the very first time Australian favourites, The Black Sorrows. Led by frontman Joe Camilleri, The Black Sorrows continue to have audiences on their feet with their infectious interplay of solid grooves that mixes blues, roots, old school R&B with flashes of jazz, country and Brill Building pop.

So, find a spot on the Karralyka lawn, grab a bite to eat from the onsite food trucks or a drink from the Karralyka bar and sit back and relax!

THE SAPPHIRESWritten & Directed by Tony BriggsThe Sapphires is a multiple award-winning musical play and film that is coming to the Karralyka stage…. for the first time.

Four young women from regional Australia who like singing country music, suddenly get the chance to change their tune, their clothes and their lives. Wearing sequins and armed only with microphones, they find themselves trying to spread joy in the hell that is the Vietnam War. The Sapphires is a funny, heart-warming tale inspired by the true story of four Yorta Yorta Women, who sing classic soul hits against the backdrop of personal change and massive social upheaval. It is an energetic, fun and engaging play that affirms life and the realisation of dreams.

A Migrant’s SonCabaret dinner & showA CRITICAL STAGES TOURING PRODUCTION

CREATED & PERFORMED BY MICHAELA BURGER

Michaela Burger returns to the Karralyka stage following a sell-out performance of Exposing Edith, with a story that will ignite memories for millions of Australians who have followed a similar journey.

A Migrant’s Son is Michaela’s tribute to her Greek migrant family and hard-working, fun loving larrikin father Luke who defied all odds.From early morning deliveries for the family bakery at age seven, down opal mines in Coober Pedy at age 16 and opening a chain of discount supermarkets in Adelaide, Luke’s journey was not one for the faint-hearted.

Featuring a live band, including piano and bouzouki, Michaela tells her family story with poignancy, heart and comical aplomb. The show is both hard-hitting and hilarious, traversing 100 years from Russia to the Australian outback – following the hardship, ingenuity, tragedy and triumph in all migrant stories.

The cabaret performance is set in the Karralyka function rooms and includes a two course Greek feast.

Friday 7 August 7pmTickets$80 | Includes two course dinner and show
