Introducing “For the Sake of the Song”. This rare event brings together three of  
Australia’s most respected and influential singer-songwriters - Sara Storer, Shane  
Howard and Shane Nicholson - who will join forces in an extraordinary live  
collaboration, celebrating the craft, power and legacy of Australian songwriting.  
Three distinct voices whose songs have shaped the nation’s cultural landscape.  
  
Shane Howard AM, revered as a “respected senior statesman” of Australian music,  
continues to inspire with a career spanning more than four decades. As the founding  
member and songwriter of the band Goanna, formed in 1977, Howard helped create  
one of Australia’s most powerful musical statements with the band’s iconic hit Solid  
Rock (Sacred Ground). From Parliament House to Uluru, campfires to concert  
halls, Howard’s songs have long been a voice for justice and country. Solid Rock  
“lit a fire for the rights of Aboriginal people… that hasn’t gone out,” and its legacy is  
cemented in the NFSA’s Sounds of Australia. With 14 solo albums, international  
collaborations, major awards and a lifetime of advocacy, Howard brings unmatched  
depth, poetry and purpose to this collaboration.  
  
3 x ARIA and 16 x Golden Guitar winner Shane Nicholson adds his own  
formidable artistry. With 11 albums, multi-platinum sales and a reputation as “one of  
the country’s finest songwriters” (Rhythms Magazine), Nicholson continues to  
redefine himself creatively. With a career spanning three decades, both in Australia  
and internationally, his acclaimed latest album Living in Colour reinforced his status  
as one of Australia’s most insightful and emotionally resonant storytellers.  
  
Beloved singer-songwriter Sara Storer rounds out this exceptional trio. With 22  
Golden Guitar Awards, an ARIA win and universal praise for her vivid, heartfelt  
depictions of rural life - described by Lee Kernaghan as painting “the spirit of the  
bush with breathtaking beauty” - Storer brings lyrical honesty and vocal authenticity,  
with a voice of sublime and earthy beauty. Her new album, Worth Your Love,  
continues her tradition of songs that resonate deeply with audiences nationwide.  
  
This is a unique convergence of voices that have defined, and continue to define, the  
soundtrack of the nation. Together on stage with an all-star band, these three  
celebrated artists combine to create a magic beyond the sum of the parts. This  
concert promises to be an unforgettable night of storytelling, musicianship and  
authentic songs that speak to Australia’s heart. A unique opportunity to witness three  
award-winning artists in full flight…doing it all for the sake of the song.
