Melinda Schneider - The 'Tender' Tour - Avoca Beach Picture Theatre, NSW

Acclaimed Golden Guitar-winning singer-songwriter Melinda Schneider is hitting the road this year to celebrate her highly anticipated album, Tender — her first original album in over a decade. Known for her heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, Schneider's new release marks a deeply personal and empowering return to her country music roots, embracing vulnerability, love, and resilience.

With Tender, Melinda continues to forge a powerful connection with her audience through authentic storytelling. Album includes a string of emotionally charged singles that showcase her evolution as both an artist and a woman. Fans will hear a rich exploration of emotional depth and raw honesty through tracks like '25 Hours', 'Words' and 'The Woman'. The new album's title track, a duet, also features Australian music icon, Deisel.

Alongside her music, Tender includes visual art that complements the album's themes. Melinda's unique painting process, which involves applying acrylics to plywood with brushes, twigs, and sponges, reflects the layered rhythms of songwriting and life itself.
