Experience stunning acoustic mastery as the highly anticipated Acoustic Guitar Spectacular returns in 2025. Hosted by renowned Brisbane guitarist Michael Fix, this series of intimate concerts brings together a trio of Queensland's finest musicians including Majelen and Tom Combes.
Known for his brilliant fingerstyle guitar playing and captivating compositions, Michael Fix has released numerous albums, won multiple awards, (including three CMAA Golden Guitar Awards), and has toured extensively throughout Australia and the world.
Majelen’s music style is a blend of Ani DiFranco’s fire with Ed Sheeran’s storytelling and acoustic energy. A jazz guitar graduate, her percussive playing creates an immersive live experience. Her debut album, recorded at Abbey Road, drops early 2025.
Tom Combes, a passionate guitarist for over 25 years, is known for his distinctive fingerpicking and percussive techniques. His debut album, Spark (2015), led to his selection for the 2016 Guitar Masters competition, showcasing his musical sensibility.
Complete with fretboard virtuosity, personal tales, and charming humour, this concert promises to be a unique journey into the heart of acoustic music, captivating music fans and guitar aficionados alike. Performing solo and ensemble pieces and traversing a wide range of genres from country to rock, classical to contemporary percussive styles, these diverse guitarists offer a rare opportunity to witness an abundance of musical talent on the one stage.
