SECONDHAND SERENADE
– Awake –
20th Anniversary Tour
December 2025
.
.
After a 16 Year Absence From Australia, Secondhand Serenade return for 3 very special shows backed by a Symphony String Section.
From the raw, heartfelt strums of a lone acoustic guitar in a Californian bedroom to global stages filled with thousands singing his lyrics, John Vesely, better known as Secondhand Serenade, has carved a legacy that is undeniable. Hard work and raw emotion are a given, but it’s Vesely’s undeniable talent as a songwriter, vocalist and performer, paired with an unrelenting connection to his fans, that sets him far above.
In the 20 years since releasing the debut album, Awake, Secondhand Serenade has become a cornerstone of the emo-pop movement. Vesely’s soul-baring anthems strike at the heart and are the soundtrack and voice to many of the MySpace generation.
Secondhand Serenade’s live performances are a tidal wave of feelings. Vulnerability, hope and angst all set against an array of soaring melodies and the kind of authenticity that leaves you spellbound. From the multiple platinum anthems Fall For You, Your Call and Maybe, to more recent tracks like Find Somebody Else, Edge Of A Riot, and Not Enough, Vesely’s shows are a journey through love, loss and redemption.
And what better way to experience the full emotional odyssey of these peerless songs than with a backing orchestral string section!

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
