Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) - Wurdi Youang

Join multi-ARIA Award-winning country music icon Kasey Chambers for a night of whirlwind stories and rock-solid life lessons, hosted by Triple R broadcaster Denise Hylands.

From her childhood in the Australian outback to the heights of her chart-topping international success as a singer-songwriter, Kasey Chambers has trusted her gut, stuck to her values and learned some hard truths, always while trying to live by the best advice she’s ever received: just don’t be a d**khead. 

At this special event at Geelong Library & Heritage Centre, presented in conjunction with The Wheeler Centre's Spring Fling, Chambers will discuss her new memoir Just Don’t Be A D**khead (and other profound things I’ve learnt). She’ll share heartfelt and honest tales from her musical career and the behind-the-scenes insights she has learned along the way. 

Tickets $20pp OR $10 for Geelong Regional Libraries Members (free to join). {Library Members - enter the first 3 digits of your membership number into the Promotion Code box on the checkout screen to claim your membership discount.}

Book sales and author signings will be offered at this event, proudly supported by Cook and Young Booksellers Geelong.

If you need any assistance in order to participate in this event, please contact events@grlc.vic.gov.au at least two weeks prior to the event date.

Presented in partnership with The Wheeler Centre.
