Hosted by renowned guitarist and rock music aficionado Nic Rush, Six String Stories tells the history of the electric guitar in popular music.
It kicks off in the early days of bluesman Robert Johnson, hurtling through the ’60s rock sounds of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Santana, stadium ’80s radio rock by Dire Straits, Prince and Van Halen and into the more modern anthems of Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses and many more.
As well as vocals by Rush, the concert will also feature the vocal talents of Josh Ansley and powerhouse diva Tracy-Lynn Brainers along with a dynamite young band.
