With the help of some of the brightest stars from the Gold Coast, Lismore residents are gearing up to celebrate their resilience and community spirit a year after being hit hard by the devastating floods of 2022.
One of the Gold Coast’s top musicians, ARIA award-winning country music star Casey Barnes, and Brisbane-born indie country artist Amy Sheppard, are set to headline the ‘From the Heart’ community concert in Lismore on Sunday 5 March 2023, to help reconnect, heal, and bring back the joy of life to the heart of the town.
