Fresh off the release of his new album ‘Miracles’, Aussie guitar prodigy Nathan Cavaleri is hitting the road, and he’s kicking off his tour in beautiful Katoomba.

Though many may know him from his acting alongside Jessica Alba, his guest starring role on ‘Baywatch’, or his episode of ABC’s ‘Australian Story’, Cavaleri has a unique backstory of his own, having beat leukaemia as a kid, then overcome stage fright to release his first album ‘Demons’ in 2020.

Now, with his new album and tour, Cavaleri said he can’t wait to put his new blues sound on stage, with a nod to his guitar roots, of course.

“The ‘Miracles’ tour has me staying true to the story-telling style performance introduced for my last album tour for ‘Demons’, but the show itself has inherited an elevated level of intensity purely from the nature of the songs themselves,” he said.

“Staying strong with a scaled down yet extremely powerful and electric line up, the set gets spotlight intimate, as well as firing hot in a way that can’t be felt on a recording. And as much as I’ve ventured beyond the blues, I can’t not go back to my roots for a few five or 20 minute solos.”

Nathan Cavaleri will be on at the Baroque Room in Katoomba on Friday, July 7 at 7pm. To book, visit nathancavaleri.com.

‘No Hard Feelings’, directed by Gene Stupnitsky, is an American comedy set in Montauk, New York.

The narrative is centred around Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence), a desperate millennial on the brink of losing her childhood home, and Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), a brainy and introverted 19-year-old who is going to Princeton University in the fall.

We are introduced to Percy’s wealthy helicopter parents who make an intriguing job listing, offering a woman a car to bring their virgin son out of his shell over the summer.

Maddie, who’s had not much idea about what to do with her life since the death of her mother, accepts the daunting opportunity… but soon discovers the awkward teen is no sure thing.

Despite only hitting cinemas in Australia last week, the film has sparked some controversy over the parents’ deceitful arrangement and the frequent use of sexual innuendo. There are a few raunchy scenes, including one where Maddie, stark naked, approaches some bullies on the beach who stole her clothes while she was skinny dipping with Percy, but for the most part it’s not too flashy and there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments throughout.

The biggest standout was undeniably when Percy performed Hall & Oates’ ‘Maneater’ for Maddie on an adult prom date.

There’s no doubt that Maddie
