Seven times ARIA-winning singer, songwriter, record producer and soundtrack composer David Bridie will perform a special show on October 5 at Avoca Beach Theatre.
Bridie’s career spans across his work with chart topping band My Friend The Chocolate Cake, as well as the influential Not Drowning Waving group, and his own slate of six solo albums.
His show at Avoca Beach Theatre will see him follow the geography of his deep catalogue of songs, playing material from all his various projects as well as a few new songs he has developed more recently.
This past year has been a busy one for Bridie.
He produced and co-wrote Christine Anu’s new album Waku, reigniting a partnership that began with Anu’s debut album Stylin Up which Bridie also produced.
This year also saw him compose the soundtrack for the gripping documentary Killjoy due for release on Stan later this month.
2024 started for Bridie in Antarctica, where he was the Antarctic Artist In Residence, which he said inspired a whole new batch of songs.
Performing is Bridie’s first love, however, and he is keen to play the Avoca Beach Theatre.
“I’ve heard so many great things about the venue, but I’ve never had a chance to play there,” he said.
“As a coastal picture theatre that also does music, it brings together two of my great inspirations.
“I can’t wait”
