John Schumann & the Vagabond Crew present an unforgettable concert event, traversing the full sweep of Schumann’s remarkable songbook – from Corrugated Highway (The Redgum Years Live) and Etched in Blue through True Believers, Lawson, Behind the Lines and Ghosts and Memories.
Across the night, Schumann’s poetry and passion will light up stories of honour, struggle, justice and love of country, delivered with the trademark wit and disarming humour that have made him one of Australia’s most distinctive voices.
Beside him, the Vagabond Crew set an extraordinary standard: a tight, virtuosic band capable of explosive power one moment and pin-drop delicacy the next.
All together they reinvent familiar Redgum favourites, uncover lost gems and reveal new depths in songs that have become part of Australia’s national soundtrack.
This is not just a concert – it’s a journey through the honour, justice, laughter and love that are the hallmarks of John Schumann’s work.
One venue I saw Redgum, was at the Newcastle Workers Club, in about 1985. Loved them! One of my favourite live concerts. Would love the opportunity to see them again!
