Published on 23 February 2023

On Sunday, 5 March, an outstanding line-up of Australian musical acts, including Aria award-winning country music artist Casey Barnes and country artist Amy Sheppard will perform at a very special ‘From the Heart’ free community concert at the Lismore Turf Club.

Tickets for the event are currently available for residents of the 2480 postcode, however from Friday, 24 February at 9am, tickets will open up to residents of the Northern Rivers and Beyond.

Lismore City Mayor Steve Krieg said we have already seen many Lismore residents secure their ticket to the event.

“We would now like to invite people from the Northern Rivers and beyond to come and enjoy this great event in Lismore,” he said

“I encourage any Lismore resident who wants to attend the event to secure their tickets now. We expect tickets to go quickly once they open up to people outside of the 2480 postcode.”

Casey Barnes, winner of Album of the Year at this year’s Golden Guitar Awards is set to excite the Lismore community with his electrifying live show.

“I am honoured to be performing as part of the From the Heart concert to celebrate the spirit and endurance of the Lismore community,” Casey said.

“While we know it’s been a tough year for so many, the band and I are planning to bring the good times to Lismore on Sunday, 5 March.”

Amy Sheppard, Brian Cadd and The Little Steely Bros, Darlinghurst and The Buckleys will complete the line-up alongside Casey.

Free buses will run throughout the event from the Lismore Golf Club, Lismore Transit Centre, South Lismore Railway Station, Goonellabah Sport Club, Lismore Base Hospital, Goonellabah Woolworths and the Lismore Heights Bowling Club.

HART Services are kindly providing individual pick-ups for those in need. Call Hart Services on 1300 874 278 to organise a pick-up.

From the Heart will be held on Sunday, 5 March from 1pm to 6pm at the Lismore Turf Club.
