On Saturday 24 October, the heritage gardens of Norman Lindsay Gallery will come alive with the sounds of the 60s and 70s as Murray and the Movers take centre stage at Spring Groove in the Garden.

Featuring legendary guitarist Murray Cook, beloved by generations as the original Red Wiggle, and powerhouse vocalist Lizzie Mack, the band will bring their infectious blend of soul, rock and roll and vintage grooves to the historic Faulconbridge property.

This all-ages event offers two live sets, food trucks, local beverages from the Norman Lindsay Bar, and plenty of space to dance among the illuminated spring gardens as the sun sets.

“We’ve played some of Australia’s biggest stages and most-loved festivals, but there’s something really special about performing in a place like Norman Lindsay Gallery,” said Murray Cook. “Murray and the Movers are all about great songs, feel-good energy and getting people on their feet, and we can’t wait to get the gardens grooving with our special mix of soul, R&B and rock.”

Murray and Lizzie have been making music together for more than 14 years. As Murray and the Movers, they have recorded four albums at legendary studios including Sun and Royal in Memphis and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Australian music journalist Stuart Coupe describes them as “so powerful, so fearsomely funky… one of the most exciting live bands in the land.”

Brian Wise, editor of Rhythms Magazine, wrote: “This music is all about the soul – its passion, emotional nuance, heartbreak, celebration, hurt and love… You can’t really ask for anything more.”

With soulful sounds, local food and drink, and Norman Lindsay Gallery’s spectacular gardens as the backdrop, Spring Groove in the Garden promises a memorable evening for all ages.
