MUSIC THAT DEFINED A GENERATION MUSICIANS have always written songs to unite people during a war, but the Vietnam-era music was different – it spoke to a growing number of disillusioned citizens and highlighted the cultural gaps that were beginning to emerge. An all-new production brings together a group of outstanding Queensland musicians and vocalists to deliver the music of an era – the soundtrack of the Vietnam War. Good Morning Vietnam, Music from the Vietnam War Era - Live in Concert! reimagines the treasured and symbolic songs of the 1960s and ’70s, the songs that questioned, stirred and reflected the political turmoil and cultural changes of the 20th century. A projection design backdrop adds compelling storytelling and scenescape elements that depict the groovy psychedelia of the flower power movement as well as images of the despair, protest and resistance flaring in the city streets of America and in Australia. “It’s a celebration of beautiful rock music but there is also a sense of melancholy, sadness, and the tragedy that war inflicts on lives,” says musical director Simon Gardner. “All great music not only transcends an era but also defines it, and the rock music created during the Vietnam War period was ground-breaking in that it reflected

immense unrest as well as the greatest powers of all – peace and love.” Good Morning Vietnam, Music from the Vietnam War Era - Live in Concert! donates $1 from every ticket sold to Guitars for Vets Australia (G4VA) in appreciation of those who served, and to assist veterans find the joy and healing power of music. G4VA knows only too well, the healing power of music. It provides Australian veterans with music lessons, and guitars and welcomes all veterans, delivering a structured professional guitar-training program of 10 lessons, together with a free guitar. The show is touring Queensland this year. Tickets at mellymelody.com.au or to learn more about G4VA visit guitarsforvetsaustralia.com
