The Jane Barnes Band: A Family Affair
29 January @ 7:00 pm - 9:45 pm AEDT

After a run of sold out shows in 2023, The Jane Barnes Band is finally returning for an encore run across five states in 2026.
The Jane Barnes Band got its start as a family project when lockdown began in 2020 and the Barnes family wanted to reach out to people who were struggling with isolation and let them know they were not alone.
Rather than do the songs Jimmy wrote or sang every night, they concentrated on doing songs they felt might touch people in a different way.
The ensemble grew and grew as time went on and some nights there would be special guest musicians and family members involved. Before they knew it, The Jane Barnes Band had taken flight. Their repertoire is varied and soulful. They cover everything from Otis Redding to Doris Day and Dolly Parton, Cold Chisel to John Denver and Glen Campbell and Leonard Cohen to The Beatles.
Special guests on all shows will be Jimmy Barnes and Mahalia Barnes.
