Wicker Suite - The Way That It Was Tour

Wicker Suite - The Way That It Was Tour is a heartfelt return to where Australian music has always thrived: the country hall.

Award-winning duo Wicker Suite are taking their songs on the road, inspired by the classic hall tours of Slim Dusty and Joy McKean, and shaped by modern torchbearers like Fanny Lumsden and the Festival of Small Halls. This tour is about connection, storytelling and bringing live music back to the spaces that once formed the social heartbeat of rural communities.

Made up of New Zealand singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Liam Kennedy-Clark and Australian fiddle virtuoso Gabi Louise, Wicker Suite blend country, bluegrass and folk with ease and authenticity. Their 2024 debut album This Is Wicker Suite charted in the ARIA Country Top 20 and earned two Golden Guitar Awards, but it's their live performances-rich in musicianship, warmth and sharp wit-that truly set them apart.

Each show features Wicker Suite alongside local artists and community initiatives, creating an experience that's as much about place as it is about music. Nostalgic, energetic and quietly powerful, The Way That It Was honours tradition while welcoming the next chapter.

Just like it used to be-only better.
