Kwinana comes alive with new summer music series

Koorliny Arts Centre in Kwinana is turning up the volume this summer with Koorliny Live, a live music series showcasing emerging local talent alongside established national stars. The series kicked off in December last year and has so far featured Perth acts Lily Rawson, Ricky Neil Jr., and First Offence, with more weekend gigs lined up until Sunday, March 23. 

Highlights include Sydney indie-pop artist Ben Lee, known for hits like We’re All In This Together and Love Me Like the World Is Ending, and Eskimo Joe’s Kav Temperley, an eight-time ARIA Award winner who has featured in triple j’s Hottest 100 an impressive 11 times.

Local acts Noah Dillon, The Floors, Soothe, Alexia Parenzee, and Boox Kid will also hit the stage throughout the series, while younger audiences will be able to enjoy a free, 14+ all-ages show starring alt-pop favourites Joan and the Giants, psych-punk band Asparagus Soop, and three-piece indie group Hello Stranger.

Koorliny Live will also feature local singer-songwriters paired with a classical string quartet in a special Tender Is The Night show featuring Abbe May and Dan Howls.
