Experience the magic of Australia’s No. 1 dedicated Linda Ronstadt Show, with Lisa Mio & Wild Dreamers.
Allow Lisa Mio, known for her work with Brian Cadd's Bootleg Family Band, Vanessa Amorosi, Rogue Traders, and more, lead you with enchanting vocals, accompanied by an all‑star ensemble featuring Jo George, Gary Young, Nigel Davis, Cres Crisp, and Phil Smith.
Lisa Mio not only captivates with masterful renditions from Linda Ronstadt’s extensive songbook, but she also weaves lyrical dialogue that offers a glimpse into Ronstadt’s journey - from folk‑rock roots with the Stone Poneys, to genre‑spanning triumphs across rock, country, standards, and pop. Dubbed both the “Queen of Rock” and “First Lady of Rock,” Ronstadt became the top‑selling female rock artist of the 1970s, selling over 100 million records worldwide. Her fearless versatility - embracing jazz standards, Broadway, and traditional Mexican music - makes her one of the most artistically diverse recording artists of the last 50 years.
As arguably Melbourne’s truest vocal match to Ronstadt, Lisa Mio, accompanied by Melbourne's finest musicians, delivers a sincere and outstanding Ronstadt experience.
Wild Dreamers go beyond honoring Ronstadt’s illustrious canon - they spotlight her celebrated collaborations and musical friendships with legends such as the Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton, The Eagles, Tom Petty, Emmylou Harris, Warren Zevon, James Taylor, Neil Young, Smokey Robinson, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and others.
Prepare to be immersed in Linda Ronstadt’s timeless classics; chart-toppers like “When Will I Be Loved,” “You’re No Good,” “It’s So Easy,” “Blue Bayou,” “Different Drum,” and many more, that continue to resonate with fans across generations.
