Event description
Multi Golden Guitar Award winner and chart-topping singer/songwriter, Melinda Schneider, presents an intimate concert performance featuring her Golden Guitar winning hits and a heartfelt homage to the songs, the songwriters and the singers who have shaped her, including Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Doris Day and Carole King.
Having enjoyed 40 years in Australian entertainment, released a whopping 14 albums, and been awarded an unbelievable six CMAA Golden Guitars, Melinda is a fearless force to be reckoned with. Few artists can say they have consistently released music, but Melinda is one of them! Her authentic sound and honest songs have strongly resonated with fans and critics alike, but being true to herself has always been paramount to her success.
Aside from an incredible body of musical work, Melinda is a live favourite! Always loyal to the stage and her incredible fans, Melinda has enjoyed huge touring success. A personal highlight was her iconic theatre show ‘DORIS, Doris Day – So Much More Than the Girl Next Door’. The tour which accompanied her #1 hit album ‘Melinda Does Doris’ toured extensively and even sold out the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall twice!
What else could be said of Melinda? Well, she’s a fashion designer, she competed on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and she has delivered key-note speeches to empowered women across the country. She’s a talented actress who made her debut at 13 in ‘A Country Practice’, John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Paul Kelly have all recorded her songs and above all, she’s Sullivan’s mum.
One thing's for sure, Melinda won’t be defined so get ready for an incredible 2022 from the iconic Melinda Schneider as she celebrates the 40th Anniversary of her recording career, the launch of her new Independent record label Mpower Records and the release of her new original album later this year.

About the Malachi
In the heart of Oberon NSW the Malachi Gilmore Hall launched in April 2022 as a new venue presenting a whole range of performing and visual arts. After forty years standing dormant, the State Heritage listed Art Deco theatre is undergoing a comprehensive restoration. The reactivation of the Malachi will return the Hall to the original purpose for which it was built in 1937 - a cultural and social focal point for the town.
