Ocean Grove singer and songwriter Andrea Robertson’s production, Her Story, Through Song has been five years in the making.
Part of the Surround Sounds Geelong festival, a month-long celebration of music across Geelong and the Bellarine, Her Story, Through Song features Carly Jorja, Rach Brennan, Annie-Rose Maloney, Andrea Robertson, Sarah Carroll and Sweet Felicia.
The show highlights artists in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, as they share stories from their own personal experiences and give insight to life as an artist in the music industry.
It’s the bringing together of women as they share their story as musicians, singers and song-writers through conversation and song.
Original artists and story-tellers of varying ages and stages of their careers, representing different decades and coming together to share experiences from working in an industry that’s not for the faint-hearted.
“The idea was birthed after seeing the amount of talent specifically amongst women songwriters in our region, and a desire to turn the spotlight on some of those women and regional artists in general and allow the opportunity for their story to be told via discussion and through song,” Andrea said.
“More specifically, focussing on different age groups or generations, and the end result is this amazing event which does exactly that – six different women, all with strong connections to the Greater Geelong region.
“Strong women who believe in themselves, who have seen the value in their artform and pursued their dreams regardless of whatever circumstances they may have found themselves in, displaying hope to future generations of original artists, and women in general, along the way.”
Her Story, Through Song (tickets at tickets.geelongaustralia.com.au/event/her-story) is at the Potato Shed on Sunday April 10 from 6pm to 9pm.
