NEIL Young’s landmark 1972 album Harvest will be celebrated in full when Brisbane-based supergroup The Honey Sliders take to the stage at The Events Centre, Caloundra on Friday, February 13.
Released when Young was just 26 years old, Harvest captured a rare moment in popular music history, blending burnished country-folk with raw, emotionally charged rock ’n’ roll.
The album went on to become the biggest-selling record in the United States that year and remains one of the most influential and recognisable releases of the classic rock era.
Its timeless tracklist includes Heart of Gold, Old Man, The Needle and the Damage Done, Alabama and Harvest, songs that continue to resonate with audiences more than five decades on.
For this special performance, The Honey Sliders will recreate Harvest track by track before delivering an extended second set featuring some of Neil Young’s most-loved songs from across his career.
The concert will be accompanied by large-scale visuals projected on a huge screen, designed to immerse the audience in the look, feel and spirit of the early 1970s.
The Honey Sliders are Danny Widdicombe (guitar, vocals), Bos Borley (bass, visuals), Dan Mansfield (keys, guitar, vocals) and Ben Carstens (drums, vocals).
For this show, they will be joined by a stellar lineup of guest musicians including Dana Gehrman (harmonica, vocals), Michel Rose (pedal steel) and Luke ‘Fiddleboy’ Moller (fiddle, mandolin, banjo, vocals), along with a special appearance from the band’s long-time roadie Ben Mallon.
Known for their deep respect for the source material and their ability to capture both the intimacy and power of Young’s music, The Honey Sliders promise a faithful yet dynamic tribute to one of the world’s most treasured albums.
