The show consists of two to four sets, providing an an insight into the highlights and lowlights of Willie’s life, his music, his friendships and deep affiliation with the land and the farming communities. But, most of all – his irreverence and devotion to living a life full of fun and adventure “on the road".
The repertoire reflects Willie's early Western Swing influences right through to his renditions of his highly successful Stardust album, showing his ability to cross over into other genres whilst maintaining his individual style and unique delivery.
Third and fourth sets feature hits by other great artists, including Charley Pride, Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton John, JJ Cale, Robben Ford, Creedence Clearwater Revival etc).
Superbly talented guitarist, Sean Mullen, hand-crafts the bass and drum tracks to produce "true to genre" renditions of Nelson's biggest hits.
Sandra Beynon's real dedication to 'showbiz' and engaging with audiences makes her a hit with audiences..
Beynon and Mullen’s true talent lies in their ability to perform songs in a small ensemble while leaving audiences amazed at the depth of sound produced by just two performers, sometimes accompanied by guest musicians.
The show will have audiences singing along, tapping their toes and line-dancing.

Audience Review
The Willie Nelson Love Child Show performed during the 2015 Birdsville Races 'Race Week' at the Birdsville Community Hall. With a near sell out crowd, punters were well entertained during the evening whether they were sitting down or up the front dancing.. For a fun and entertaining show, look no further.

Sandra and Sean performed at the Mount Isa Civic Centre in mid-September. Their music, singing and audience interaction was exceptional and the attendees to the private function spoke highly of the calibre of music. They were wonderful to work with.. It was certainly a privilege having them perform here.

It was a great turnout. You're very talented. With the drought that's been on our country for the last four years, the locals really got a lot out of it. It's a credit to you for coming out and servicing the needs of people in these remote parts of Queensland.it's money well-spent. Thanks to Arts Queensland for supporting your tour.

Audience Review
Sean and Sandra did a fantastic show. Everyone that attended really enjoyed the show. Musicians often promise promotional assistance and do not follow through or provide the information until so late that it is impossible to get a good crowd. Sandra was extremely professional constantly following up pre and post show for any publicity or assistance they could offer,

Sean and Sandra are really hard workers. They put so much into every performance and went beyond our expectations, playing for hours longer than agreed to help us keep people in the pub. They are a pleasure to have around and we look forward very much to their return next year.

Almost the whole town turned up for their concert and we partied on well into the night after the show. They are wonderful to have around - creative and obliging. I hope they'll join us again next year so I can put their show on the back of the big truck on the street!

The spirit of music is alive and well with Sean and Sandra and their Willie Nelson show. The audience really enjoyed it and they struck a chord with everyone who came along. Sean's guitar playing is second to none, and Sandra's voice is just beautiful. I'm looking forward to having them back again in the future.

Sandra and Sean were meant to do just one show, but they pulled out all stops and performed three times during their 2 days here in Winton. Their music managed to pull in audiences of all ages and our pub was still rocking along well after our competitors (who only put on a DJ) closed their doors.

Sandra and Sean kept the audience entertained for three hours - and people who usually left by 9pm stayed on well after that, such was their talent and enthusiasm on stage. We have invited them to return in a few months.

It was fabulous. We live in this rural outback town and don’t see much entertainment other than the Camel Races and Easter. It was wonderful to have Arts Queensland supporting artists coming into the town. Absolutely a credit to Sandra and her partner – it was lively fun and I danced the night through until it was time to go.

It was a great night. Quite a few people turned up and everyone enjoyed it. I certainly did. Those families with children up on the hill really got into the swing of things. Thank you and Sean for your time and your efforts. Beautiful music and a very good night.

We hadn’t done a dinner show before but it soon became clear that there was a demand for it. We had all the tables out and Sandra even provided checked tablecloths to really create a country atmosphere inside. The audience was spellbound by the quality of Sandra’s voice and Sean’s playing. We hope they return next year.

Peieta Mills - Club Boutique Hotel/CullyFest
Colleague Review
Sean and Sandra did a fantastic show and drew a crowd of more than 50 people who also had meals and drinks which was great for a struggling outback business. Because of travel costs often shows are too expensive to be able to offer however this was really accessible. Everyone that attended really enjoyed the show.
