The Regent is thrilled to welcome Sunshine Coast singer-songwriter Chris Cobb to Murwillumbah for an intimate evening of music that blurs the lines between raw storytelling and acoustic soul. For a community that deeply values creative authenticity, Chris is must-see artist who embodies the spirit of independent music.
Raised on the quiet banks of the Bulolo River in rural Papua New Guinea, Chris’s upbringing was as raw as it was musically diverse. He grew up surrounded by a vast, contrasting mix of sounds—from ancestral chants and local beats to the harmonies of his uncle’s string band and the country music crackling through the two-way radio. This rich exposure to storytelling in its most unfiltered formats became something he deeply absorbed, weaving it entirely into his own artistry. His musical journey eventually took him onto some of the biggest stages in Australia. He first captured the nation’s attention on The Voice Australia, where his powerful, blind audition earned him a rare, emotional four-chair turn from the coaches. While his career has taken him to stages performing in front of massive stadium crowds, Chris’s true heart lies in the warmth of grassroots, community-centered spaces like The Regent. This performance marks a massive milestone as Chris shares the stage to celebrate the upcoming release of his highly anticipated album, More Questions Than Answers. The new record takes Chris from the live music scene to the studio, capturing the energetic exchange between the artist and the room. Moving effortlessly from light, uplifting grooves to heavy, deeply moving ballads, every song is delivered with a singular purpose: to connect. Chris doesn't just perform; he creates a shared space where the audience genuinely feels the music. Step into the story with us and welcome Chris Cobb to the stage for an unforgettable night of heartfelt, homegrown music.
