What’s on in the entertainment world

Burrinja Theatre

Tex Perkins & Matt Walker

Two of Australia’s most revered musicians unite for a raw, powerful live show, blending new material, timeless covers, and iconic classics.

Tex Perkins has been around for a while now, with The Beasts, The Cruel Sea, The Dark Horses, and The Man in Black being just a few of his notable projects. Tex has built his reputation on a restless sense of adventure, an ability to evolve and adapt, a dark sense of humour, and a knack for teaming up with uniquely talented players who help bring out the best in him.

Matt Walker is one such player, long established as a respected singer-songwriter and a much-sought-after guitarist. He’s worked with many great people over his 30-year career.

Tex and Matt released the self-titled album Tex Perkins & The Fast Rubber Band in November 2021, which they wrote and produced together, and was followed by the band’s second album, Other World, in 2024.

Season: Saturday 29 November at 8pm.
