Jack Doolan and the Scrubs to debut original music at The Push
Published on 15 November 2024
Local band Jack Doolan and the Scrubs is set to make a significant mark as it debuts its original music at the Push All Ages Tour in Horsham next Friday.
This event, a collaboration between Triple J Unearthed and Always Live Victoria, promises an unforgettable experience for music lovers of all ages.
Consisting of Reed Widdowson, Louis Willemsen and Phillip Sierra, Jack Doolan and the Scrubs started as a punk band and play covers of classic punk and pub rock songs.
Lately the lads have started to create original music with Coldplay and Radiohead as their inspiration.
Despite some nerves about performing their own songs for the first time, drummer Sierra expressed confidence in their preparation and the quality of their set.
“We feel excited to debut our original material in front of a live audience, as it represents a transition from a cover band into our own sound,” he said.
The Push All Ages Tour will also feature headliners The Rions, South Summit, and Jem Cassar-Daley, along with Triple J Unearthed competition winner Kailee.
Tickets for the Horsham event are selling fast.
“Because Horsham has such a high focus on arts, we feel that the community is a lot more enthusiastic about going to see and support local creatives,” Sierra said.
Playing in front of a large local crowd is not new for Jack Doolan and the Scrubs, but this event holds special significance.
“This show in particular is an opportunity unlike any other we’ve had before. Therefore the grandeur of this performance is unparalleled,” he said.
The band also expressed gratitude to the event organisers and the Horsham Rural City Council for their support.
“We’re looking forward to playing alongside experienced musicians,” Sierra added.
With a quality lineup and a community eager to support local talent, the Push All Ages Tour at the Maydale Pavilion is shaping up to be a night to remember.
Tickets are $30 (plus booking fees) and are available through Moshtix. Visit alwayslive.com.au for program and ticket details.
