Tickets via Castlemaine State FestivalMan Out of Time: the Broderick Smith Songbook
Few voices cut as deep into Australian rock as Broderick Smith’s — storyteller, rebel, poet, and heart of The Dingoes.
Man Out of Time: The Broderick Smith Songbook gathers his closest collaborators and admirers to reinterpret his catalogue with reverence and raw energy.
Across two stirring sets, musicians revisit songs that shaped generations — “Boy on the Run”, “Shine A Light”, “Ruby In The Snow” — weaving anecdotes and archival reflections through the performance.
The evening honours both the power and fragility of an artist who gave everything to the stage. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s renewal.
Each performer brings their own voice to Brod’s stories of outlaws, dreamers and the stubborn hope that defines regional life.
Expect grit, humour and tenderness in equal measure — a reminder that music, like memory, never really fades.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Theatre Royal.
