“Music is a powerful trigger of memory and emotion. It is uncanny how a song can instantly transport you back in time and often revive emotion. Whether it be a moment of joy or despair, love or heartbreak, frustration or peace.”
Life Sounds Like… is an exciting project that delves into the stories and memories behind 40 iconic Australian songs. This unique film-music collaboration is curated by Ricky Beresford, aka Regular Rick, and is filmed and produced by David Marsden and Oliver Marsden.
In celebration of Ausmusic Month, join us for an unforgettable evening filled with nostalgia, emotion, and entertainment as we share short stories about how Australian music has left a lasting impact on the lives of 40 Cairns residents.
Experience live renditions of some of these influential songs by members of the SouthSide Band, led by Frank Dangelico, along with special guests including Katie Jay and Lilly Tidswell.
This musical journey will unfold in Cairns' iconic live music venue, Tanks Arts Centre, a space that has hosted innumerable Australian music legends over its three decades of operation.
Life Sounds Like... is screened as a part of Understory Film Festival, complementing Ricky's exhibition, Soundtracked (50 Years of Australian Music) - Regular Rick, a visual soundtrack of personal memories linked to songs that hold meaning to Ricky himself. The exhibition's launch will take place at 6pm in Tank 4 Gallery on the same night.
