Soak up the sunshine and sweet harmonies this Australia Day long weekend with the return of Lara & Jorge at the Bearded Dragon Hotel Tamborine, performing live in the beer garden on Sunday 25 January 2026 from 2PM to 5PM. Their smooth blend of Latin-infused soul, acoustic pop, jazz, and blues makes for an unforgettable Sunday session — and the perfect way to ease into Monday’s public holiday.
Lara’s enchanting vocals and Jorge’s intricate guitar melodies blend seamlessly across songs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Whether you’re after a romantic weekend escape or a lively Sunday out with friends, their music brings a vibrant international flair to the Scenic Rim.
