“The event is also crucial to help the Snowy Mountains region as it recovers from the devastating double whammy impact of the Bushfires and COVID-19,” said Dan Morgan Co-Founder Second Sunday/This is Just a Tribute. He continues, “We encourage you to spend your Easter long weekend in the region and take in all of the incredible attractions and natural beauty that the area has to offer. As well as supporting local businesses in their journey back from the chaos of the past few years. And of course, joining us to witness arguably the greatest collection of iconic live music tracks ever performed on the one stage in this country! In our opinion, these are the greatest songs in the world. And This is Just a Tribute.”

Starring ICONIC Australian artists who are paying homage to the world’s biggest band and a line-up of internationally acclaimed Tribute Acts, they will be belting out nothing but bangers from the greatest artists of the last four decades.

THE BOWIE UNZIPPED BAND

When Jeff Duff took refuge in England in the eighties, he had, as they say, worn out his welcome in Australian rock. He was simply too much of a handful, this ‘waif with a wharfie’s voice!’ camping it up out front of his trail-blazing rock ensemble ‘Kush‘. At the time, Jeff’s androgynous stage persona, dressed in leotards, garish make-up and a touch of the operatics was considered far too outrageous for many Australian audiences. Jeff’slongtime admiration for David Bowie eventually led him to stage the first ‘Ziggy’ show in the nineties, and now The Bowie Unzipped Band is regularly touring. The Bowie Unzipped Band features Australia’s best musicians including the legendary Jeff Duff on vocals and Glenn Rhodes on keyboards, bass and vocals, plus Australia’s finest drummers and guitarists.
