Mahalia Barnes and the Soulmates with special support by Joy Yates and Dave MacRae

The daughter of one of Australia’s most famous rock vocalists, Jimmy Barnes, Mahalia Barnes started her career as a child star vocalist for her sibling band The Tin Lids. 

Growing up in the rough and tumble of the rock music industry, Mahalia has experienced it all. She’s recorded on her father’s albums since the age of eight, and recording three Tin Lids records between 1991 and 1994, all of which sold platinum.

Since then, Mahalia has worked as a lead singer for her own band, and as a backing singer for soul and RnB artists like Johnny Diesel and her father. 

Mahalia performed on the first season of the Australian version of The Voice, covering the Tina Turner standard ‘Proud Mary’, and that fiery, soulful energy is a good example of her style. Expect energy, brooding soul, and live intensity from this veteran of Australian music, backed by a rock-solid trio. Seating is strictly limited, book now to avoid disappointment.
