“I am going to Graceland where I am going to perform. I will be at the Candlelight Vigil,” Jose tells Noise11.com.

The vigil to Graceland coincides with the release of Jose’s new album of Elvis covers titled ‘You Were Always On My Mind’. “Being an Elvis fan since I was 6 years old I wanted to do an album of Elvis’ songs but in my own style. But also an album of certain Elvis songs that wasn’t afraid of what people would think. So I didn’t ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ and ‘Always On My Mind’,” he said.

Jose says he met Elvis many years ago but only the once. “I met Elvis once at Tahoe. I sat in his dressing room. Elvis was very nice. I am sad that he has gone but,” he said.

The Jose Feliciano performance will take place at Graceland on August 15. Then it will be back down to Australia for the music legend.

Jose Feliciano Australian dates are:

August 31, Melbourne, The Palais
September 1, Sydney, The Capitol Theatre
September 2, Brisbane, The Tivoli
September 5, Perth, The Regal Theatre

Rising Festival, Beth Gibbons, Hamer Hall 1st June 2025 #REVIEW

The blue-coloured- light drenched the stage, signifying the trademark colour of Rising. Beth Gibbons is here as part of Rising festival to showcase her solo album, Lives Outgrown, with a seven- piece band of musicians. Gibbons last toured Melbourne 15 years ago with proponents of trip hop, Portishead, appearing at Harvest Festival. There she was bathed in the golden afternoon rays of sunlight, but now she’s obscured by stage lights in alternating hues. Her musicians are backlit and positioned either side of the stage in groups of three and the keyboardist is in the centre behind Gibbons.
