When the UPSTAGEING Festival rolled into the Canberra Yacht Club, TUGS brought the sophistication and the soul. This wasn’t your average ukulele circle; this was a high-fidelity journey through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, delivered by a community of musicians who have spent ten years perfecting their craft.

Against the backdrop of the lake, the air was filled with the classic sounds of rock & roll—reimagined through the unique, rhythmic layering of ukuleles, guitars, and harmonica. From bluesy riffs to harmonic melodies, TUGS proved that great music doesn’t just age; it evolves into something richer. Relive a Saturday afternoon of sunshine, sophisticated vibes, and the timeless hits that define an era.
