W/Greg Arnold (Things of Stone & Wood) with Simon Marks + Toby May (Switzerland/UK)
Things of Stone and Wood's Greg Arnold is returning to Central Victoria for a super special run of shows with some super special buddies!
The ARIA and APRA awarded singer-songwriter will be teaming up with local legend Simon Marks and Switzerland's (and the UK's) poptimist, Toby May in what promises to be an absolutely unique showcase of songwriting, from just around the corner... to the other side of the world.
Greg is known for his two top ten albums, his top four radio played single "Wildflowers" and his big contribution to the Australian songbook: Happy Birthday Helen.
While people can expect to hear some more classic Things of Stone and Wood songs (Rock This Boat, Share this Wine and Single Perfect Raindrop) as well some crackers from his extensive solo catalogue, they can also enjoy the contemplative and evocative work of Simon and Toby in what will ultimately be a show by three kindred spirits, all of whom share a love of the simple and honest communication of singing a song and strumming on a guitar.
With songs and stories from three lives spent on the great international acoustic singer-songwriter highway, the show promises to be moving, fun and uplifting.
A rare bird indeed!

Simon Marks Biography
Beginning his career with an invite to perform as part of the West Coast Blues and Roots Festival (2009) troubadour singer/songwriter Simon Marks has gone on to perform thousands of shows both domestically and overseas, selling over 15,000 albums along the way.
Performing stages from festivals to bars, barns, house concerts, art galleries and everything in-between, including once aboard a sinking ship, Simon Marks is nothing if not adaptable as he shares with his loyal listeners a show that is a joy be a part of, and to be experienced at least once in your lifetime.
Whether solo or accompanied by bandmates Shane McGrath (guitar), Hamish Davidson (fiddle/banjo), James Chandler (bass) and Georgia Taylor (drums) Simon shares with audiences’ songs and stories that are occasionally sad, more often funny, but always entertaining as he winds his way through the body of works that span his 5-album career.
Fortunate to have received significant airplay via ABC Radio for both ‘Wally’- The Mick Thomas Song and ‘Misfit’ from his ‘Big River, Little Stories’ album, Simon also received an unexpected, yet welcomed induction to the National Library of Australia Music Archive for his song Heather. (based on the life of Heather Vicenti, co-author of the book Too Many Tears).
Recently playing the GoNorth Arts Festival (2023) Simon and band are set to release new works in early 2024. These new works being inspired by a recent Artist in Residence position that saw Simon immersed in life (as a singer-songwriter) while based on a working farm in regional N.S.W. during the week-long residency.
“From folk to rock Simon Marks captivated the crowd his sincerity, passion and talent” -The Music
