John Schumann + the Vagabond Crew – The Redgum Years 2024

“Hi John. I’m sitting on my verandah, listening to Redgum. Those songs still touch my heart and my soul.”
It’s 2023. John Schumann, the voice of legendary Oz folk-rock band Redgum & writer of the iconic anthem, “I was only 19”, is contacted on socials by fans all over Oz. We have all come to understand the Australianness & the important messages about justice, fairness, compassion and the need to care for country.
“The Redgum Years” owes its existence to the Vagabond Crew who were able to persuade John to revisit the catalogue, to play the songs and to tell the stories in a special tribute concert. “The Redgum Years” first appeared in the Adelaide Fringe in 2021. 3 sell-out shows, lengthy waiting lists & standing ovations – it was a Fringe hit. People flew in, quite literally, from all over Australia.
“The Redgum Years” is a concert of songs and stories for the true believers.
It’s for their kids.
And it’s for all those people still believe that songs can change the world
