After significant community campaigning, singer-songwriter Tones and I will make her way to Echuca for two nights of sold-out shows.

The ARIA Award-winning artist is performing at Echuca Hotel on Monday, August 19, and Tuesday, August 20.

She will play a 30-minute acoustic set for the packed crowd, before signing copies of her new album, Beautifully Ordinary, released on August 2.

Tones and I took to social media, asking audiences where she should host a series of album launch pop-up shows.

“I will do two more acoustic pop-up meet and greet shows next week in support of my album that drops this Friday,” she said on July 30.

“Now as always I will let you decide where they are but right now I am thinking Coffs Harbour and Albury as they don’t have any shows lined up, however do your thing.”

Echuca fans flooded the comment section, petitioning for the Dance Monkey singer to make her way to the Murray.

“I have a Gold Coast acoustic on Monday, just announced a Albury (show) for this Sunday and I will say Echuca/Coffs really going hard,” Tones and I said on July 31.“

After announcing shows in Albury, Coffs Harbour and Frankston, Tones and I shared on Monday, August 5, that she would be coming to town, asking locals where to perform.

“Echuca? How could I miss the hundreds of comments ... where am I playing? What's your favourite venue,” she said.

“Looks like I'll be doing two night(s) in Echuca!”

On Tuesday, August 6, Tones and I created a Facebook event for a show on Monday, August 19, at Echuca Hotel.

This was re-shared by Echuca Hotel and across the Echuca Moama Community Page.

Showing their dedication, Echuca fans sold out the show within an hour, with a second quickly was announced for Tuesday, August 20.

Both performances have sold out. However, fans can join the wait list for Monday and Tuesday.
