Dust & Groove with Robbie Buck featuring Abby Dobson

Wednesday, July 9th | Petersham Bowling Club
7:00PM – 9:30PM

Join us for the next instalment of Dust & Groove, a monthly night of vinyl, storytelling, and live music hosted by the one and only Robbie Buck (ex-ABC). Settle in for an evening where records spin, stories unfold, and songs come to life.

This month, we’re thrilled to welcome Abby Dobson as our special guest. Best known as the lead vocalist of beloved Australian pop band Leonardo’s Bride, Abby's distinctive voice and emotive songwriting have left an enduring mark on the Australian music scene. Beyond hits like Even When I’m Sleeping, her career spans collaborations with Paul Mac (Gonna Miss You, Above the Clouds, The Beginning of the End Of Time), contributions to The Secret Life of Us soundtracks, and the release of two solo albums — Rise Up (2007) and It’s Okay, Sweetheart (2018).

From appearances on i98FM and Dancing About Architecture to a memorable audition on The Voice Australia, Abby’s journey is one of depth, resilience, and constant reinvention.

Expect a night of great music and conversation as Robbie dives into Abby’s musical path — her early days, iconic collaborations, and everything in between — followed by a rare and intimate live performance.
