Soul superstar Lisa Hunt returns to Live on the Lawn at The Star Gold Coast.
Soul superstar Lisa Hunt returns to Live on the Lawn at The Star Gold Coast.
“Guess who’s back? Back again….” and no, it’s not Slim Shady, but in our opinion, someone whose vocaLISAtion skills are even more idoLISAtion worthy.
She is the ultimate tantaLISAtion for your ears and if you haven’t figured out who we’re talking about yet, then perhaps we need to rethink the capitaLISAtion of our words.
LISA Hunt, the woman, the myth, the legend herself is set to make her highly anticipated return to Garden Kitchen & Bar’s Live on the Lawn as a headline entertainer!
We’re talking world-class here folks and we would expect nothing less from The Star Gold Coast.
So for goodness sakes, “tell a friend” or better yet, tell all your friends because Lisa isn’t just shut-up talented, but Live on the Lawn sessions are free!
The “Lisa Hunt Forever Soul” extravaganza is a sonic spectacle that catapults you straight into the heart of Motown magic, soulful sorcery, funk fantasy, and disco daydreaming!
Performing on six Fridays, starting next month on the 3rd of November and finishing on the 2nd of February 2024, we’ve just given you six perf ways to wrap up your working weeks #yourewelcome.
Now if you don’t know the DL on this American-born Byron Bay based dynamo, allow us to catch you up to speed.
Lisa’s musical journey is steeped in the rich tapestry of American African gospel goodness.
It was in the hallowed halls of the gospel church that the seeds of her sensational singing style were sown, destined to bloom into something truly extraordinary.
As the years danced by, Lisa took her tunes on some whirlwind world tours, sharing stages and studios with the true titans of showbiz.
Reading like the who’s who of music royalty, she’s gotten pitch perfect with Pavarotti, jammed with James Brown, ripped it up with Ray Charles, and melodised with Miles Davis. Down under, she’s performed with national treasures like Jimmy Barnes and Midnight Oil, leaving a trail of awe-stuck Aussies in her wake.
Across the globe, from the Swiss Alps to the sultry streets of New Orleans, Lisa has drawn crowds to shows like shopoholics to the Black Friday sales.
Blues to Bop in Switzerland was never the same after Lisa and her band hit the stage, her soulful swagger leaving revellers’ jaws on the floor (the dancefloor that is).
Plus, Russia’s Fausto Pirito declared this vocal volcano “a true force of nature.”
Mic drop.
So, hop aboard the Lisa Hunt express, because this soul train is coming in hot to The Star Gold Coast. For more information, go here

We’ve all heard the classic adage “bad things come in threes”, but what about the lesser known, “good things come in sevens”?
Okay yeah, that’s not a thing, but it needs to be because The Star Gold Coast and their delicious 7 Nights Of Value at Harvest Buffet deals are proof of this fact.
From 1 October until 30 November, there’s a sweet deal for every night of the week at Harvest Buffet – and what could be better than bookending your week with a hearty helping (or four) of Harvest Buffet’s delicious fare? Knowing it was an absolute barg (which rhymes with marg, and hey, this means more room in the budget for those too).
We’re about to make like it’s 2004 and update that status to ‘sweat pants are all that fits me right now’ because now we can sate those smorgasbord cravings any day that ends in ‘y’.
Monday Night
We’ll gladly be welcoming a reprieve from the #SundayScaries over the next few months, knowing that with Monday also comes a stellar smorgasbord offer so good we can’t resist (and we could say the same for the array of eats). Harvest here to get our week off on a very good foot food, so gather your buffet bae for an epic twofer deal: purchase one adult buffet and pay half price for the 2nd.
Tuesday & Sunday Night
Here’s the world’s shortest fairytale for the parents among us: you and the fam tucking in to a delish dinner, without one single complaint to be heard… The End.
Gather up the little rascals (and gift yourself the night off dishes), because this faraway kingdom is a place that totally exists. Tuesday and Sunday nights, Kids eat free with every Adult Buffet purchase until Nov 30 at Harvest Buffet.
Welcome to parent Narnia, where there’s nary a ‘I don’t want that for dinnnerrrr’ to be found, and the kiddos will happily gobble up all their favourite fare (including multiple helpings from the soft serve station, lbh… but sometimes, silence really is golden).
Wednesday Night
Our mouthwatering mid-week reprieve comes in the form of a sneaky $15 off all adult buffets.
Which is excellent news if, as hump day arrives, you’re struck by vague cravings for a certain *something* sumptuous that you can’t quite put your finger on (and/or the need for a kitchen hiatus).
Quell those hankerings in one fell soup… and nosh upon the likes of oodles of noodles, curries, dumplings, pizza, roast meats and fresh seafood until your heart (and belly) is content.
Oh, and pro tip – when ‘alls said and yum’ at Harvest, swing by the Wednesday night Comedy Club and treat that satisfied tum to some bulk belly laffs for the grand total of zero dollars. Talk about bang for your buck!
Thursday Night
Ah, Thursday aka Friday-eve – the weekend feels so close, yet despairingly far, and your cravings have prematurely fixated on the thought of perfectly flame licked fare – with neither the time nor inclination to fire up the barbie.
This Oct and Nov, ‘Friday-eve’ leaves you faced with quite the conundrum: head on down to Harvest for BBQ Thursdays and enjoy all your favourites grilled to perfection – or, somehow summon the mid-week motivation to be faff about with marinades, meat thermometers, reverse sear techniques and… yeah nah. This so-called conundrum just became more of a ‘no brainer’.
Friday & Saturday Night
We never tire of busting out a good ol’ #TGIF (or it’s oft-overlooked equivalent, #TGIS) – nor do we shy away from busting out the bubbly to celebrate their return. And from now until Nov, Harvest will be poppin’ bulk bottles with a glass of bonus bubbles with every Adult Buffet purchase on Friday & Saturday nights.
What could be better to accompany to all those fresh and dried fruits, cured meats, crispbreads and gourmet cheeses you’ll be sampling – as you sip back, relax and ponder the best buffet plan of attack.
Where: Harvest Buffet, 1 Casino Dr, Broadbeach
When: 5.30pm – late (Saturdays from 5pm) daily, 1 October until the 30 November
