Desert Highways and The Tote Hotel are very proud to present the 6th annual A Celebration of Chris Cornell. A night to celebrate the music of the late Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple Of The Dog). His vocal range as well as style was exceptional and second to none. Listed by many as an inspiration, he will continue to be one of the greatest vocalists to have ever been.
The night is on at The Tote Hotel on Saturday 6th December with a stellar line-up of local musicians to celebrate just what he meant to us all and continue to raise a glass in appreciation of the legacy he’s left behind. 100% of all money raised on the night will be proudly supporting Beyond Blue.
