Things of Stone and Wood

Nearly 40 years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone and Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s. Off the back of their top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’, the band achieved national success, ARIA and APRA awards, international tours, a gold album ‘The Yearning’ and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would make them one of Australia's most loved and enduring acoustic bands.

Fast forward to 2026 and the band are still here, doing what they do best: playing passionate and energetic live shows, and recording and releasing new music. November sees the band touring their second album for the year, the 70’s retro inspired The Final Forest.

Come on down and see how this band, with two albums and two tours for 2026 continue hold their place as one of “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band[s]” (Michael Dwyer).
