HEADLINE act Murphy’s Lore will return to vaguely familiar surrounds when they hit the stage for the Katanning Concert in the Park next weekend.
Murphy’s Lore bassist Shaun Street said an old friend approached the band to join the concert.
“This isn’t our first time performing in Katanning,” he said.
“Believe it or not, the three Murphy brothers all lived in Katanning between 1984 and 1986.
“We do like to still get out on the road but it’s less often after we got married and started churning out babies.”
Street said concert goers can expect some classic pop and rock hits from the ages.
“We try to cover a fairly big range of eras and tastes. We do anything from the Beatles to Bruno Mars and most things in between,” he said.
“Courtney’s even been known to pull out Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights on occasion.
“We can’t wait to rock out with the local Katonians.”
Alongside the popular band, crowds can expect local acts on stage from 4.30pm, including the Katanning Primary School Choir.
Event organiser Doug Cherry said last year’s concert will be hard to beat.
“Even though we had to move the concert date last year because of the rain, it turned out to be a great event,” he said.
“There was a spectacular sunset last year over the lake. We’re hoping we’ll have the same again this year.
“It will be a great start to the school year, with lots of family things to do and children’s songs.”
Entry is free to the Katanning Concert in the Park.
