Melbourne-based accessibility consultancy Tibi Access has announced the arrival of its inclusive event, Groove Tunes.
The event takes place on March 19 at Melbourne's Corner Hotel and will present an accessible night of entertainment, highlighting the creativity of the disability community, all while creating awareness over the accessibility of live music.
The inaugural event will be headlined by surf rock trio The Grogans and rising star Matilda Pearl, with support from artists Irene Zhong, Edward Roussac and Saint Ergo.
Tibi Access founder and Groove Tunes event manager Dina Bassile is a passionate advocate for inclusivity in the music industry, establishing the platform as a means to change the landscape of live music, events and venues for the better.
On organising Groove Tunes, Bassile stated: "I want people of all abilities to feel included and enjoy a night of live music. In planning this event, additional features have been included that may be of assistance to people.
"These features include; Auslan interpreters, an accessible web page, a sensory zone/pack, braille tickets, large signage, and a team of volunteers who will undertake Tibi's disability awareness training. Groove Tunes will not only be a night of live music but an educational night for industry professionals.”
Tickets are on sale now via Corner Hotel's website.
