Griffith Regional Theatre presents A Salute to Gene Pitney - 20th Year Anniversary, a warm and respectful tribute concert starring former local radio announcer, Glenn Starr, on Saturday 28 March 2026.
Marking 20 years since the passing of Gene Pitney, the show reflects on the remarkable career of the celebrated 1960s vocalist whose hits — including Twenty-Four Hours from Tulsa, Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart, Only Love Can Break a Heart, and Town Without Pity, found success around the world. Known for his distinctive tone and emotional delivery, Pitney remains one of the era's most recognisable voices.
Glenn Starr, accompanied by a live band, revisits these classics in a relaxed two-hour concert featuring live performances, gentle storytelling, and visuals that highlight key moments from Pitney's life and music. Designed for long-time fans and newcomers alike, the show offers an easy-going and nostalgic afternoon celebrating the songs that made Pitney an international favourite.
The concert also includes a special moment created especially for this anniversary tour - a simple but heartfelt nod to Pitney's enduring influence.
A Salute to Gene Pitney - 20th Year Anniversary promises an enjoyable afternoon of familiar tunes and shared memories at the Griffith Regional Theatre on Saturday 28 March 2026 at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased from the Box Office, by calling 6962 8444 or visiting www.griffithregionaltheatre.com.au
