Coming Up at Sun Street
From world-class artists to emerging voices, here’s what’s lighting the stage at Sun Street Studios this season.
- Ernest Aines – Shifting Scenes
Join us for an unforgettable evening with acclaimed Australian folk artist Ernest Aines. Known for his poetic lyrics, intricate guitar work, and soul-stirring vocals, Ernest will debut a fresh sound with electric guitar woven into his renowned fingerstyle playing. This intimate acoustic show in Sun Street’s lounge-style venue promises soaring melodies and raw emotional depth. Tuesday 11th & Wednesday 12th November - Work, But This Time Like You Mean It
Upstage Youth Theatre takes over Sun Street Studios in Maitland with Honor Webster-Mannison’s absurdist comedy: a witty, wild ride through the chaos of a fast-food joint and the pressures bubbling beneath the surface. Nov 13–15 in Maitland. - Cameron Jones Trio – The Manouche Sessions
The Cameron Jones Trio brings the spirit of Manouche jazz to Sun Street Studios. With the Selmer-style guitar at its heart, the Trio delivers swing, warmth, and Parisian flair. Cameron’s European travels, studying with musicians connected to Django Reinhardt, shaped a style rooted in tradition yet alive with improvisation. 🎟 Sunday 16 November 2pm
