Dave Wells: The Road to Lighting Ridge

Dave Wells: The Road to Lightning Ridge is an intimate solo/duo performance and community fundraiser

supporting Dave’s upcoming artist residency in Lightning Ridge, NSW. In September, Dave will travel west

for a regional arts residency connected to Tin Camp Studios and THE Hungry Spirit, spending time in the

Lightning Ridge community, developing new creative work, connecting with local artists, and headlining a

special performance as part of the program.

For this one-off Maitland send-off show, Dave will perform a stripped-back set of original songs, including

new material, unreleased personal favourites, and selected songs from across his catalogue, joined by

Loretta Wells on backing vocals for what will be an intimate and memorable evening. Funds raised through

ticket sales will help support Dave’s journey, with remaining profits directed towards creative arts outcomes

in Lightning Ridge and other needs identified by the community and project team.
