Woodfordia Inc presents Festival of Small Halls
FESTIVAL of Small Halls has just announced that Kellie Loder and Van Dijk & Mcdonald will feature on their upcoming Spring Tour 2024 Outback Queensland. Presented by veteran festival producers Woodfordia Inc., the much loved not-for-profi t music tour is embarking on its 41st tour.
With a packed schedule of twenty shows across four spring weeks, this tour embarks on a route welltravelled over the last 11 years, journeying into new and returning communities alike. Newfoundland musician Kellie Loder will be travelling to Australia for their inaugural Australian tour.
A gifted and accomplished storyteller with a voice that conveys warmth and power, their lyrical brilliance is honest and vulnerable in ways that make the music feel deeply personal, inspiring profound emotion among audiences.
“I am beyond excited to bring my music to Australia for the first time in my career,” they said. “I’m so very grateful that I’ll be introduced to such a beautiful place through being a part of one of the greatest festivals there is.”
Joining Kellie are Van Dijk & Mcdonald, a highly regarded folk duo who’ve featured across many a musical act, and are bringing a fresh set of tunes with them this September.
“It’s thrilling to be back on the road filled with such rich memories of previous tours,” said Jan Van Dijk. “It’s the stories from the locals from each town that stick with you the most afterwards. “There’s something wonderfully reciprocal in the act of travelling significant distances to share your music, and then when you get off stage being rewarded with such generously personal stories from audience members about themselves, the community, and the unique history of the surrounding lands.”
Festival of Small Halls Spring Tour 2024 kicks off September 25, and includes Mooloolah Public Hall (October 12) and Mapleton Hall (October 20), 2024. Tickets on sale now at festivalofsmallhalls.com
