SELLING FAST!!!!
Catch Greg and Mikey from Things of Stone & Wood performance at The Original Duo, launching the new TOSAW album "Rae Street".
ARIA award winners THINGS OF STONE & WOOD sum up everything that was great about the Melbourne music scene in the 90's. A mashup of Indie Folk, Australiana Rock, Irish Harmonies & Local Lyrics made TOSAW a live music pub favourite, with fans from across all genres.
Whilst the 90's are well & truly gone, the soundtrack of our youth is still alive & well - with THINGS OF STONE & WOOD bringing all their favourite songs to arcobar in a unique "stripped back" & acoustic show.
This is a chance to hear these wonderful songs right up close, remember how good they are, as well as be reminded of what an electrifying duo instrumentalist "Mikey" and singer Greg Arnold are!
It’s 30 years since the release of the little-song-that-could’ “Happy Birthday Helen”, with Greg and Mikey's year long tour across this beaut country coming to a close. That makes it a guarantee that this show right here at arcobar will be an absolute treat!

Things of Stone and WoodThirty years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone and Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s..
Off the back of their top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’, the band achieved national success, international tours, a gold album ‘The Yearning’ and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would place them as one of Australia’s most loved Folk- Rock bands.
Described as “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band” (Michael Dwyer), their imaginative use of organic instruments set off an acoustic/folk movement that paved the way for the likes of John Butler, The Waifs and Angus & Julia Stone.
Their live show has always been full of energy and passion and whilst they’ve won many an industry award, including an ARIA and APRA Songwriter of the Year for Greg Arnold, it’s on stage that they demonstrate why they are so loved.
