Rock n' Roll with Issi Dye
For 60 years, Australian legend Issi Dye has graced stages and television screens across the country, and will now tick Warracknabeal Town Hall off the list.
Thanks to Alana M Music Promotions and Management, Issi will be bringing his show 'Legends of Rock N' Roll' to the town hall for the very first time.
Issi said the audience can expect tribute and original songs alongside some storytelling and audience interaction.
"I'll be talking about my history and experience on tour and of course pay tribute to these wonderful artists," he said.
Artists from the 50's and 60's such as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin, Johnny O'Keefe and many more will be heard.
Over his career, Issi has supported many big artists during the 60's, 70's and 80's including The Beach Boys, Roy Charles, John Farnham, The Supremes and more.
Throughout the 70's and 80's, Issi hosted his own late night television show on Channel 9 and 10 networks in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
His show was the first late night program in the country.
Other than appearing on his own show, he was also seen on Countdown, Bert Newton show, Kerry Anne Mornings and a lot more.
"I've been doing this for 60 years and what I love most about it is travelling and meeting people," he said.
Issi said people love to have a chat to him about their personal experience seeing him on TV and even attending shows many years ago.
"It's going to be great to be back to Warracknabeal," he said.
"I've performed in one of the hotels before a few years ago but not the town hall.
"This time is more of a concert type show."
Issi encourages everyone to buy a ticket to the show.
"Come down, have a great morning and support the show and Alana," he said.
"We need more people like Alana to bring shows like these back."
The show is on Tuesday, May 20, from 10am to 12pm with doors opening at 9.30am.
Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased online at https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1388718 or at Feet First Footwear in Scott Street, Warracknabeal.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
With parting words he said, "Come on down and have fun with Issi Dye".
