Evolving over thirty-five years CBL has become a cult-like institution in Australia. The brainchild of renowned singer, songwriter and drummer Carl Pannuzzo, the band has enjoyed diverse membership over its lifespan but the current line up of Carl, Tim Neal and Shannon Bourne is arguably the band’s strongest ever, breathing fire and virtuosity into blues, classic soul and roots.
CBL, leave audiences enthralled by the creativity and chemistry between the band. The spirit is palpable from the first bar of their performances, with an almost childlike sense of play, they reinvent the music every time with authenticity and immediacy, no two shows are ever the same. From standing ovations at festivals to packed Melbourne pubs, vibrant and unforgettable, CBL are a tour-de-force delivering honesty, integrity and truthful musicianship, the very essence of a live music experience.

Join us for a soul-stirring night of transformation, empowerment, and connection as two extraordinary female artists, Lucy Gallant and Joydah Mae, take the stage. Each celebrated for their powerful artistry, they will perform individual sets that promise to inspire, heal, and uplift.
Lucy Gallant – A Musical Force of Liberation
After a captivating first-ever New Zealand tour in January this year, Australian songstress Lucy Gallant made such a profound impact that she’s been called back for another run! Having graced major festivals like Glastonbury and Byron Bay Bluesfest, Lucy has built a reputation as one of the most vibrant and mesmerizing performers on the touring circuit.
A one-woman band and multi-instrumentalist, Lucy blends reggae, folk, and soul into uplifting rhythms and heartfelt melodies that encourage love, liberation, and individuality. Her voice, both soulful and powerful, carries an energy that draws the audience in, making each performance an immersive and healing experience. She invites everyone to sing along, dance, and connect, transforming every concert into a shared celebration of joy and self-expression.
Joydah Mae – Ancestral Wisdom & Transformative Sound
A proud Ibaloi warrior, Joydah Mae brings a deeply spiritual and healing presence to the stage. Her music, rooted in challenge, resilience, and transformation, opens a space for reflection and inner strength. With a voice that resonates with raw emotion and ancestral wisdom, Joydah’s powerful sound connects deeply with the audience, creating an atmosphere of unity and healing.
She blends soulful melodies with rhythmic storytelling, inspiring listeners to embrace their own journey, let go of fears, and step into empowerment. Every performance is a sacred experience, inviting the audience to be part of something greater than just the music.
More Than a Concert – A Healing Event
This is more than just music—it’s a night of healing vibrations, unity, and conscious connection. Through the power of sound and storytelling, Lucy and Joydah create a sacred space where music becomes medicine. Together, they offer a transformative experience that will leave hearts open and spirits uplifted.
