Unsurprisingly, Tim Freedman has sold out this Saturday night at the Brunswick Picture House, so the venue has added a show at the special winter matinee time of 4pm this Sunday.
Tim will be performing with pedal steel and electric guitarist Ollie Thorpe, and anyone who saw the duo’s 2023 sold-out shows at the Lennox Cultural Centre, and sorely missed Regent Theatre in Murwillumbah, will attest to their good-natured panache.
Tim’s band The Whitlams has a deep connection with the Byron Shire, from legendary Friday afternoons at the Rails in the mid ‘90s, to being the first band to put up a stage in the backroom of The Great Northern, a slap-up job of borrowed planks balancing on empty kegs. Most recently he debuted his country band The Whitlams Black Stump at Bluesfest 2024.
The Whitlams are playing three shows with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra this September, and will soon announce an Orchestral 2026 tour in the other capital cities.
Opening on Saturday night is Zac Gunthorpe, and on Sunday afternoon Tainui Richmond.
Saturday’s sold out, and tickets are selling very quickly for this show – go to brunswickpicturehouse.com.
