Things of Stone & Wood – Live at Lefty’s Music Hall, Brisbane Friday 13 November 2026 Nearly 40 years after a rag-tag bunch of folkies came together in Melbourne and formed Things of Stone & Wood , the band remain one of Australia’s most loved and enduring acoustic acts. Best known for the iconic hit “Happy Birthday Helen” , Things of Stone & Wood went on to achieve national success, ARIA and APRA Awards, international tours, a gold-certified album The Yearning and even a memorable parody on The Late Show . Now, in 2026, the band are back on the road with two new albums and two national tours , continuing to do what they do best: delivering passionate, energetic live shows packed with great songs, big harmonies and plenty of heart. The November tour celebrates the release of their new album The Final Forest , the companion to March’s Rae Street , which debuted at #10 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart . Recorded with a classic band-in-the-studio approach, The Final Forest draws on the band’s 70s-inspired influences while retaining all the warmth, authenticity and unmistakable Things of Stone & Wood sound. Built around the simple foundation of a piano trio, live instrumentation and close harmonies, it captures the spirit of the band that first came together drinking beers and singing in a Melbourne share house. Expect brand new songs from The Final Forest and Rae Street alongside the classics, including “Happy Birthday Helen”, “Wildflowers”, “Rock This Boat” and “Share This Wine” . Things of Stone & Wood live at Lefty’s Music Hall, Brisbane. Friday 13 November. A rare chance to see one of Australia’s great acoustic bands doing what they do best, live and loud.
