Jessica Mauboy And Stan Walker Rock Canberra's Galaxy
Canberra's Southern Cross Club tonight sees Australian music sensations Jessica Mauboy and Stan Walker perform tonight.
It's dubbed the 'Galaxy' tour and the artists have had over 15 Australian hit singles between them and they've sold more than 1.5 million singles and 250,000 albums.
Over 1400 music lovers turned out in the nations capital to hear that best that these amazing Australian performing artists had to offer.
It's an urban pop show and the headliners are supported by what we understand are the hottest soul band in Australia.
Stan went on first to strong applause and his numbers included 'Amazing Grace', 'On Our Way' and 'Tear Down These Walls'.
This was followed up by the equally impressive Jessica Mauboy who was decked out in a beautiful black and gold dress, and silver diamond high heel shoes.
Her opening numbers were 'Inescapable', 'Running Back' and 'Been Waiting'.
Mauboy had released her debut studio album 'Been Waiting' during November 2008, which launched her first number-one hit single 'Burn'.
'Been Waiting' also featured her other top-10 hits 'Because' and 'Running Back', and was confirmed double platinum as it became the second highest-selling Australian album of 2009.
She earned a massive seven 2009 ARIA Music Awards for the album and its singles while also achieving Highest Selling Single for 'Running Black'.
Her second album 'Get 'Em Girls' debuted at #6 on the ARIA charts in 2010 and earned a gold certification.
It featured hit singles such as 'Saturday Night' and 'Inescapable'.
Walker released his debut album 'Introducing' . . . Stan Walker in 2009, which debuted at #3 on the ARIA charts and went on to achieve Platinum.
Its lead single, 'Black Box', reached number one down in New Zealand before he released his second album From the 'Inside Out' in 2010.
This again achieved a #1 ranking in New Zealand for him, and #2 in Australia.
'Unbroken' and 'Choose You' were two successful singles born from that album.
Walker won four New Zealand Music Awards for his efforts later that year.
The duo's performance featured their solo hits before they come together for a duet showing towards the conclusion of the show.
When performing together the audience easily worked out that they are listening to some of Australia's greatest pop voices.
The show was priced at a reasonable $45 or $79 for dinner and show.
Well done to everyone involved in putting on the great show and we look forward to continuing to follow Stan and Jessica as they continue to tour Australia.

A Few Best Men Red Carpet Movie Premiere In Sydney, Australia
A Few Best Men enjoyed its Sydney red carpet premiere earlier this evening at Bondi Junction's Event Cinema.
In essence, it's a a comedy about a groom and his three best men who travel to the Australian outback for a wedding.
The flick has numerous Sydney based media men and women tipping that this may be just the start of a reinvigoration of Olivia Newton-John's acting career, but its really too early to know for sure. Maybe O-N-J and her agent know something we don't.
Twilight Eclipse hunk Xavier Samuel stars as the film's hapless bridegroom.
British thespians Kris Marshall (Death At A Funeral) Kevin Bishop (Spanish Apartment), and Australian comedy star Rebel Wilson was there, as was Laura Brent (Chronicles of Narnia), Steve Le Marquand (Beneath Hill 60) and Tangle actor Tim Draxl. Even local MP Malcolm Turnbull and wife Lucy showed up in support.
The flick, which was filmed in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, is hoped to be a return to form for Elliott, who has had mixed success since his 1994 smash hit The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.
It's quite an unlikely acting platform for Newton-John, who many film industry commentators say her last decent film role was alongside John Travolta in Two of a Kind back in 1983.
Elliott told the media that the Aussie singer/actress has fitted in well with the rest of the cast.
"She's great. Everyone's coming together really well and she's really getting into it," he said.
A Few Best Men opens in cinemas nationally on January 26, 2012.
Director: Stephan Elliott
Writers: Dean Craig
Stars: Rebel Wilson, Olivia Newton-John and Xavier Samuel

Alan Jones Joins Cast Of Annie The Musical At Lyric Theatre; The Star
Australian broadcasting legend Alan Jones will demonstrate his singing skills when he makes his musical theatre debut in a new Australian production of Annie - The Musical.
Jones will star alongside Anthony Warlow, Todd McKenney and Nancye Hayes in producer John Frost's latest show.
The musical marks a return to the role of Daddy Warbucks for Warlow, who played the character in a 2000 production of Annie, about an orphan girl taken in by the multi-millionaire in Depression-era New York.
"It was a wonderful experience then. People say never work with children and animals, but in this case the children were wonderful," Warlow said.
Jones, who will perform a musical number in his role as president Roosevelt, was handpicked by Frost, who advised he had Jones in mind from the early casting days.
"I wanted to pull a rabbit out of the hat in a way," Frost said.
In a video message played at the show's launch on Monday, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell said he couldn't believe Frost had taken Jones on, "because he never ever takes direction".
Jones talked down his part in the production, requesting news media to direct questions to "the stars" of the show.
He said he just hoped he could do the role justice.
"I have a lot of good people to help me. I hope I'm going to do alright and not let the team down," he said.
Frost, who is the man behind the smash hit Australian productions of Wicked, Chicago and Phantom of the Opera, is confident Jones will not need any acting or singing lessons, despite having no previous theatrical experience.
Frost knows Jones is a safe bet.
"He's full of confidence and he holds a tune well," he said.
"If anything I'd love to put another song in for him, but I can't."
He said the show will be a true performance of the original stage production.
"The timing now is right to bring it back. With a fresh cast, I think it's got a good chance of being a great success," Frost said.
The battle for the Australian entertainment dollar continues, and certainly Sydney's The Star is going full speed ahead and betting that world class entertainment will remain paramount in the quest to bring more punters to land based casinos and entertainment complexes.
Media blurb we secured...
The timeless tale of Little Orphan Annie is back, giving a whole new generation the chance to experience this classic musical about never giving up hope. Boasting one of Broadway's most memorable scores, including It's the Hard-Knock Life, Easy Street, N.Y.C. and the ever-optimistic Tomorrow, Annie is one of the most awarded and loved musicals of all time. Reprising one of his all-time favourite roles as the charismatic and sophisticated New York ‘zillionaire' Daddy Warbucks, is Anthony Warlow. He will be joined by the ever-popular Nancye Hayes playing everyone's favourite villain, Miss Hannigan. Todd McKenney, Chloë Dallimore and Julie Goodwin also bring their talents to this delightful musical. And in a special treat, radio star Alan Jones will join the cast in the role of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A MESSAGE FROM PRODUCER JOHN FROST
It gives me great pleasure to bring ANNIE back to Australian audiences. When I produced this show 12 years ago I was overwhelmed by the response it received. ANNIE is such a well known, well loved production that appeals to so many different age groups. Its popularity means that it is staged once a year in many countries around the world, and I have no doubt that the Australian audiences are well and truly ready to see it again.
This time around, I am especially delighted to be able to work once more with Australia's favourite leading man, Anthony Warlow and theatrical legend Nancye Hayes.
To be taking this wonderful show and the star studded cast on tour in 2012 presents a unique and exciting opportunity to reach a new generation of Australians and it gives me enormous pleasure to think that people Australia wide will again be able to experience this special production.

The Star Lyric Theatre To Open Annie The Musical In Sydney
The Star, owned and operated by Echo Entertainment, has organised a media call for this coming Tuesday 3rd January at the Lyric Theatre.
We will be attending to cover the ever-popular Broadway musical Annie prior to the official opening night of the show at 7pm on Thursday January 5, 2012.
Three musical numbers from the show will be performed, and afterwards producer John Frost and lead cast members Anthony Warlow, Nancye Hayes, Todd McKenney, Chloe Dallimore, Julie Goodwin and Alan Jones will be giving interviews and be available for photograph opportunities and more.
The musical numbers will be:
It’s the Hard Knock Life – featuring the children’s cast
Easy Street – featuring Nancye Hayes, Todd McKenney and Chloe Dallimore
A New Deal for Christmas – featuring Anthony Warlow, Julie Goodwin, Alan Jones and the ensemble cast.
Based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip “Little Orphan Annie”, the musical Annie burst into popularity in 1977 when it opened on Broadway. After running there for nearly six years, it has played in over 22 countries worldwide including the UK, Argentina, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Australia. Annie became a smash-hit movie musical in 1982 starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney and Carol Burnett that is adored worldwide and a fixture of popular culture references.
Annie is full of toe-tapping hits which have become staples of musical theatre repertoires worldwide and now, 34 years on, it remains one of the most loved and universally appealing musicals of all time.
Annie plays in Sydney until March 25 before a national tour.
It all marks another interesting development in the Australian casino wars, as agency, Media Man has been calling it for a few years now, and it will be interesting to see how Melbourne based competitor of The Star, Crown Casino, responds with their entertainment line up, which is also ramping up on the west coast on Australia with the newly named Crown Perth (formally Burswood Entertainment Centre).
The battle for the Australian entertainment dollar continues, and certainly Sydney's The Star is going full speed ahead and betting that world class entertainment will remain paramount in the quest to bring more punters to land based casinos and entertainment complexes.
