MARTY ROBBINS' GUNFIGHTER BALLADS & TRAIL SONGS Performed by Henry Wagons, Emily Lubitz and The Counterfeit

Following two rapid sell outs at Brunswick Ballroom and Memo Music Hall, a third and final performance of Marty Robbins’ Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs has been added at Theatre Royal, Castlemaine on Sunday, June 21. Demand for the show has been immediate, with both Melbourne dates selling out within four weeks- cementing this as one of the most sought after live music events of the season.

A cornerstone of American songwriting, this infamous Marty Robbins album is widely regarded as one of the great early concept records. A vivid cycle of outlaws, lawmen and frontier justice. From the drama of El Paso to the steely tension of Big Iron, it unfolds like a Western film set to music.

Leading the posse is Henry Wagons, whose commanding, narrative- driven vocals bring authority and grit to these frontier tales. Emily Lubitz provides contrast and nuance, her unmistakable voice adding warmth and intimacy to the stark landscapes. Backed by members of notorious spaghetti-western ensemble The Counterfeit—renowned for their grand, cinematic interpretations of music from the western frontier—the album will be presented in full, from start to finish.

This is not a greatest-hits revue, but a rare and immersive re-staging of a landmark album—and a unique opportunity for Castlemaine audiences to step inside one of the most enduring works in Western music history.
