With Special Guests
Whalers Hotel - Warrnambool (Warrnambool , VIC)
Friday, 4 December 2026 8:00 pm
Fresh from two sell out shows at Sydney Fringe, acclaimed singer-songwriter Wes Carr
celebrates the extraordinary music of Bruce Springsteen - one of the greatest songwriters and
storytellers of all time, in his hometown!
Across his own remarkable career, Wes has often been compared to Springsteen for his
unmistakable voice, emotionally charged performances and gift for transforming lived
experience into unforgettable songs. A multi-platinum recording artist, ARIA chart-topper and
winner of Australian Idol, Wes has performed across Australia and the United States, spent
years immersed in Nashville’s songwriting community and collaborated with some of the
country’s most respected musicians.
Now, he brings that experience, musicianship and storytelling instinct to a songbook that has
inspired generations.
With his voice & guitar, Wes will rip through some of Springsteen’s most beloved songs,
including Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark, Thunder Road, The River, I’m on Fire, Hungry Heart
and more.
This is not an impersonation or traditional tribute show. It is one acclaimed Australian songwriter
celebrating another - exploring the stories, characters, heartache, hope and humanity woven
through Springsteen’s music.
Raw, joyful and deeply personal, The Springsteen Songbook: Unplugged invites audiences
closer than ever before. Expect soaring vocals, unforgettable melodies, surprising stories and
some of the greatest songs ever written, delivered by one of Australia’s finest live performers.
For lifelong Springsteen fans and newcomers alike, this is a rare chance to experience these
iconic songs in their most intimate form - and to join Wes Carr at the beginning of an exciting
new musical chapter.
This is one experience not to be missed - book now.
