CANCELLED - Natalie Gauci. FAME tour. Single Launch
Lefty's Music Hall (Brisbane, QLD)
Saturday, 9 March 2024 6:30 PM
Natalie will launch her first single from her forthcoming album at The Toff Hotel. From an early age Natalie dreamed of being famous. Now on her new single ‘Fame’, she explains that fame is about learning to choose to do good things through love, instead of the bad things, through blocking pain. ‘I recall blowing my candles out on every birthday, wishing to be famous. Now I look back and think, hmmm, why did I want to be famous? I wanted to make a difference in the world”
Fame finally arrived for Gauci in 2007 when she gained massive national overnight recognition after winning Australian Idol. Gauci subsequently signed a record deal with Sony BMG Australia. Her debut single, ‘Here I Am’ released in November that year, reached #2 on the ARIA Singles Chart and gained a Gold Accreditation.
The following month saw the release of her debut album, ‘A Winner’s Journey’ which reached #11 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified platinum. International success followed with a charting single and album in the UK, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. She toured the UK and Europe and held down a residence at Ronnie Scott’s in London. Other highlights included: Henley on Thames Music Festival UK (with Chaka Khan), In The City Festival Manchester, Sofa Sounds London, TEDx London, FestiBall Buckinghamshire UK Festival, Walk The Walk Breast Cancer Charity Festival and The Big Umbrella Charity Event Kathmandu.
In a classic case of ‘be careful what you wish for’, Gauci learnt that being famous also had a Downside as she illustrates on her new song; “Fame got me wanting all the bad things, the bad things, shame it brought the sad things” Gauci laments.
“Writing ‘Fame’ made a difference to my life; it made me realise it’s not about the fame, it’s about honouring the gifts I’ve been given”.
Natalie Gauci will be sharing new music with her powerful duo, playing songs from her new album as well as hits from last 2 decades of her music career. Her stories, testimonies and experiences are all part of her music. Get ready to be blown away.
All proceeds from the sales of Natalie’s forthcoming album, ‘Brand New Day’, are going to support her charity (A Call to Wisdom) which will help people who are broken that require healing from sexual abuse, trauma and domestic violence. “Brokenness is leading to homelessness and what we need now more than ever is hope” says Gauci.
