Six years after the unforgettable Essential Services Tour of 2020, Australian troubadours David Flower And Chris Matthews reunite for a very special series of concerts celebrating the moments of connection and resilience that shaped an extraordinary time in live music.

Born during the uncertainty of the pandemic, the pair’s now-famous Bruce Highway run against the grain became a symbol of perseverance, community and the healing power of live performance whether audiences realised it at the time or not.

This mini tour celebrates the spirit of organic heart space songwriting, storytelling and intimate live music that matches perfectly with Elementa’s amazing venue with Stella views and top shelf surround sound audio. This will be the second time for David at Elementa, the last with Matty Tandy showcasing the artists and the venue for a unique music experience overlooking the turquoise ocean and whitsunday islands.

The fact is there remains a deep passion for authentic performances where humour, honesty and musicianship take centre stage. Both David and Chris bring largely self-taught guitar mastery, weaving together folk, funk, country and blues influences that beautifully support the stories behind their songs. The Australian musicians independent path is perfectly highlighted in these concerts and you will be delighted by what makes these Aussie musicians so unique.

Together again, these seasoned road warriors bring decades of touring experience, acclaimed songwriting and heartfelt performance back to the stage. Most of all, they bring the light-hearted banter and collaboration of two very different musical styles, capturing the true essence of authenticity.

From folk festivals and intimate house concerts to major Australian events, both artists have built loyal followings through passion, originality and unforgettable live shows that celebrate the enduring power of Australian music and the communities that keep it alive.
