After 42 years of as Melbourne's #1 duo DEAN & CARRUTHERS join us at Hepburn Palais to perform their 5,000th gig!From their humble beginings in 1984, Terry Dean and Gary Carruthers have somehow managed to outlast just about every other duo in Australia, with a sound and setlist that set the benchmark for pub music & elevating them to genuine icon status in the Melbourne music scene. Their pub residencies during the 80s and 90s become legendary, particularly the packed-out New Boundary Hotel which ran every Saturday night from 1985-1994.
Both Gary Carruthers & Terry Dean decided to call it a day when they reached 40 years of live shows in 2023, but have since been dragged out of retirement more times than John Farnham.
Terry has subsequently tallied up the number of times he has shared the stage with Gary since their first show together, and challenges anyone to prove him wrong that the number isn't exactly 5000 for this show!
WHEN: Friday 19th June, 2026
WHERE: Hepburn Palais, 111 Main Road Hepburn Springs, 3461
TIME: Doors & Bar Open at 6:30pm. Bandroom Open at 7:30pm. Show Starts at 8pm
