A legendary Australian rock group is set to feature at a jam-packed concert that will launch a music hub and creative arts program.

The Hoodoo Gurus will headline the grand opening of Team Musicare Sunshine Coast, which is set to empower people through music and creativity.

Th event will include a lineup of iconic artists, interactive workshops and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Station on January 31.

An array of musical heavyweights and industry icons will be in the spotlight, including Magic Dirt, Tom Busby (Busby Marou), Diana Anaid, Bob Spencer (Skyhooks, Angels, Rose Tattoo), Jonny Sonic (Potbelleez) and Natalie Gauci (Australian Idol winner).

Team Musicare founder Dan Nebe said the event marked the start of something special on the Sunshine Coast.

“This isn’t just an opening, it’s a movement,” he said.

A new music hub at The Station boasts four studios.

“With Hoodoo Gurus at the forefront, backed by an army of industry legends, we’re creating a moment that embodies everything Musicare stands for: inclusion, creativity and the transformative power of music.”

“This program is destined to become the benchmark for similar initiatives across the country,” Mr Nebe said.

“We’re not just setting the stage for incredible music experiences, we’re shaping a blueprint for inclusive employment, personal growth and community engagement.”

The new hub at The Station boasts four state-of-the-art studios, offering music mentoring, podcasting stations, open mic workshops and drum circles.

Since 2000 Team Musicare has grown from one participant attending a three-hour weekly session to an organisation with more than 30 staff and 170 weekly participants in Redcliffe. The project is privately funded.

“It doesn’t get more grassroots than this,” Mr Nebe said.

“We started with nothing but a passion for music and a vision for inclusivity.

“Today, we’re proving that with hard work, community support, and innovation, you can create something extraordinary.”

The launch will be held from 10am until late, with free entry to the day events. Tickets are available via Moshtix for the evening schedule.
