First Show @ Perth RAC Arena – 25/10/2023

Review By Sheldon Ang  Click here for full Review

A few minutes before twilight, Toni Childs, an Emmy winner, three-time Grammy nominee and now a Byron Bay resident made herself at home by sitting the front centre of the stage. Her vocal engine was sparked by the smash hit I’ve Got To Go Now. Her bluesy, soulful vocals driven by those powerful grinding and grilling falsetto drew immediate reaction with utter silence among the audience. It was a shock and awe invasion, as she painfully lyrically narrated about a wife leaving her husband with her kids after a series of domestic violence through those rich throaty, funnelling personification. Stop Your Fussin’ followed as she stood in bare feet and greeted her band members, followed by House of Hope and Don’t Walk Away. Childs took to the floor, greeting the audience while firing her thunder struck vocals. The power, emotion and honesty were catapulting, drawing the audience closer to the stages through those distinctive voice that can only be Toni’s. Toni Childs need to tour across Australia. She, herself was worth of the money spent.

Second Show @ Sandstone Point Hotel – 28/10/2023

Review By Tracey Moyle – Music Maven Events   Click here for full Review

Emmy award winning artist Toni Childs took to the stage without fuss or fanfare, taking a ten-minute technical delay in her stride, as they continued with a sound check. Sitting perched at the front of the stage, she took a photo of the crowd with her phone, gave her guitarist a hug and waited patiently for the sound issues to be sorted out. Finally, with her guitarist sitting by her side, she introduced the band and flowed skilfully and gracefully, opening up into her 1991 hit I’ve Got To Go Now.

Conscious of the intensity of the Queensland afternoon sun, the artist looked absolutely glamorous, happy and comfortable, donned in her wide-brimmed hat and stylish sunglasses, looking completely at home and comfortable in front of her QLD fans.Taking advantage of the photographers in the photo pit in front of the stage, she had two willing participants assist her and took her shoes off, ready to jump up and dance on stage. Barefoot and full of energy, she flowed into her hit Stop Your Fussin, her vocals still as strong in 2023 as they were in 1988.

Toni continued with a dynamic elegance through House Of Hope and lifted the energy up more than a few notches on stage, and throughout the venue, with popular hit Don’t Walk Away. Childs confirmed the decades haven’t changed a thing, bouncing around the stage with a vibrant energy, bringing new music, including her new song Lift, to the fans. Childs showing fans her passion for music and her internal fire are still alive decades after her 1988 debut. Dramatic vocals, bring out a certain vulnerability in her music. Her tracks are a melding pot of intense storytelling backed by hauntingly powerful vocals.

Taking out the set back to where she started, seated perched, on the front of the stage, she performed I Believe In You, singing directly to the crowd. She moved down into the barrier singing alongside her fans, joining in on the loving energy that only music can produce. Back on stage, Toni closed her Sandstone Point performance looking glamorous, confident, happy, and relaxed.

Third Show @ Sydney Qudos Bank Arena 29/10/23 A Very Big Birthday Party!

Celebrating my birthday on the road is another first!! You could say, I had a very big party!!   Click to hear 21,000 people sing Happy Birthday to me… hehe!!

Review By Peter Gray

After Germein proved they have the vocals and charm to hold an arena’s attention with a brief set, Toni Childs continued the rock-based vibe, walking on stage barefoot, announcing it was her birthday (so, you just know the crowd is serenading her later), quietly sitting down and after talking of how she’ll be “Starting with the old stuff and then moving to the new stuff”, she kicked off with her 1991 Top 5 ARIA hit “I’ve Got To Go Now”.  Childs, whose distinguished voice silenced the crowd when it was on display, continued her walk down memory lane with “Stop Your Fussin’”, before she introduced her new music, which maintained her funk-meets-rock sound, but incorporated an almost sensory-like experience as she invited Sydney to close their eyes and give into weightlessness.

Very much taking the audience on a journey through time with her evolving sound, Childs finished out by affirming to the audience – and coming off stage to interact directly with her fans – with the lyrics “You are beautiful.  You are gorgeous”, from “I Believe In You”.  Given the reaction, it’s safe to say the crowd felt the same affirmations should be relayed to the Hawaiian-turned-Byron Bay chanteuse.

Fourth Show @ Newcastle Entertainment Centre 31/10/23

The powerhouse that is Toni Childs, her vocals as strong as ever as she belted out hit after hit, including ‘Stop Your Fussin”, ‘Don’t Walk Away’, ‘House Of Hope’ and ‘I’ve Got To Go Now’. Her connection made all the more stronger as Toni explained she wanted to “sing for us” as she battled through some technical issues. Proving that age and time mean nothing when you possess pure talent, Toni belted out her newest song yet to be released ‘Lift’. Then much to the delight of fans the woman who is arguably one of the best female solo vocalists ever, then made her way into the middle of those seated centre stage to get up close to those who adoringly sang along with ‘I Believe In You. (Another song yet to be released)

Fifth Show @ Adelaide Entertainment Centre 02/11/23

Review By Nicole Jobes  Click here for full Review

Opening her set with the determined announcement that she is here with her super power to “Pollinate with love”, Toni Childs tells us all “we’re starting with the old stuff and then we’re moving to the new stuff”. And so with that cleared up she begins her set with her 1991 Australian hit ‘I’ve Got to Go Now’. Sitting centre stage, surrounded by her five-piece band, emotively singing the song whilst casually taking off her shoes sets the scene for what’s to come.

‘Stop Your Fussin” is up next, co-written with David Ricketts, the single hales from Child’s debut album ‘Union’, the song keeps you moving & your foot tapping with the African-influenced percussion rhythmically backing the lyrics.

Dancing across stage bare foot, she closes out ‘the old stuff’ with one of her best known songs ‘Don’t Walk Away’. “Are you ready?” Toni teases as she announces we’re moving onto “the new stuff”. New it certainly is, taking on a totally different vibe for the second half of the set.

‘Lift’ cements that new feel and brings with it a fresh sound, a sound that follows through to ‘I Believe in You’. Toni offered a unique experience to fans tonight whilst moving through the crowd singing energetically, she singles out individuals whilst highlighting her powerful lyrics, “I see you, you are beautiful, you are gorgeous” . With everyone up on their feet singing along, Toni glides back onto stage, welcomes her band to join her and take a bow. Tonight, she declared she was going to use her super power, and she did. Using the warmth and depth of her voice, we moved tonight from abuse to empowerment.

Sixth Show @ Launceston UTAS Stadium  04/11/23

“Well, Aloha!” says Toni Childs as she takes a seat at the edge of the stage. “First, we are going to play some really old shit from thirty-friggen-years-ago. We are going to relive the past with little morsels of memory chocolates to taste and then the second half is for the here and now and future,” she says.

Childs unleashes her powerful, booming voice with soulful, bluesy, and raw lyrics delivered with a rough-edged vocal. The strong emotion in her music resonates with her audience as she conjures up a sense of nostalgia with her blast from the past hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s, including House Of Hope, Don’t Walk Away and Stop Your Fussin’.

She stands up as her full band joins in for her energetic and fresh new material and the audience claps along to the unreleased music. “That’s the most I’ve worn shoes in a show, but now I need to take them off to feel more grounded,” she says. The security guard helps her remove her boots so she can move around the stage and roam around the floor area more freely for Because You’re Beautiful. She leaves us with a heartfelt message to shine on, before she takes a final bow with her band and crew.

Review By Silver Tiger Media   Click here to read another review

American-born singer-songwriter, Toni Childs. Toni came out on stage to a quiet reception from the audience, but then proceeded to completely blow everyone out of the water with her distinct sound and powerhouse vocals singing one of her biggest hits, I’ve Got To Go Now. Despite the years gone by and her age, not only does she look amazing, but her pipes are still absolutely incredible and they never faltered once. Toni sang a few of her other older hits including Stop Your Fussin’ and Don’t Walk Away, which had the audience well and truly eating out of her hand. As she ventured into some of her newer material, the audience were thoroughly enjoying themselves, and even more so when she came down into the crowd for her final song. Toni ventured through the audience shaking hands as she delivered her final song which was full of hope, encouragement, and reminding people that they are beautiful, intelligent and worthy.

Eighth Show @ Auckland New Zealand Sparks Arena  09/11/23

Spark Arena was filling up fast, many hurrying to their seats in order to get settled in before the legend that is Toni Childs arrived. Accompanied by a five piece all male band, Toni Childs looked positively ethereal as she casually strolled out in black and white bell-bottom styled pants and black top, long hair cascading down the back of her shoulders.

Now sixty-six, Childs has lost absolutely none of that spectacular intensity. Taking a seat at the edge of the stage, she instantly connected with each and every person in the room. Dropping ‘Stop Your Fussin’ within the first couple of songs, Childs easily had the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand.

With a voice that was absolutely on point, that sumptuous husky undertone that she is well known for, moved through the room intoxicating all, Childs by this point barefoot, her band seamlessly accompanying her as she took one and all through a musical journey that should have been much longer.

Bringing nostalgia, blues and a vivid sense of self, Childs wowed one and all, especially when she moved into her last track ‘I Believe in You’; leaving the stage, Childs picked her way through the front rows, a young girl in yellow catching her eye. Shy at first, Childs soon had her dancing for joy in front of her, the captivating moment bringing a smile to everyone’s faces. Moving towards a gentleman sitting in the middle of the isle, Childs sat down as she serenaded him, her words sang with such genuine warmth that he visibly melted in his seat.

Returning to the front, Childs invited her band to stand by her side as they took a sweeping bow, many in the audience jumping to their feet to applaud them, before Childs playfully bunny-hopped off behind the curtains. Headline show? Yes please!

Three months of touring without a break. Here are some photos that Christian O’Donnell my wonderful guitarist, captured before each performance.

Each theatre is unique. I can now say that I have played every nook and cranny of Australia – truly kamagra pris!!

A big thank you and congratulations to everyone at Big Mother Touring Company! We did it! Thank you Laree Thorsby our in-house Tour Coordinator and Tour Manager, Thank you Rae Mitchell our merch and advertising b**ach, and Karen Linsday at Little Sparrow PR and Advertising!

Our first national tour was a massive success and we all learned a hell of a lot in the process! I knew we would make mistakes. Thankfully, the mistakes that we did make were easy to get a handle on and course correct so as not to effect ticket sales.

I am proud of everyone and so grateful, we all had the courage to embark on the journey together!! Thank you!

Reef 360… what is it? https://www.tonichilds.com/2022/01/24/reef-360-a-underwater-concert/ Sun, 23 Jan 2022 15:43:15 +0000 http://tonichildsnewsite.tonichilds.com/?p=11786

An underwater concert for whales and dolphins!

Yeah, I know! It sounds crazy, right?!

Well, CRAZY turns out to be a really beautiful place to be!

Here are two of the songs I’m inspired to sing to them.

Stardust Time Dreamer

I am planning to give a series of underwater concerts for whales and dolphins in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and film my adventure for a unique 45 min 360 experience called, ‘Reef 360’ that will travel in a 15 meter dome in regional towns, and a 20 meter dome in city suburbs.

Starting in Perth we embark on a two month journey to film a series of underwater concerts on a vessel that accommodates 17 people with a two person submersible on the stern.

We will film the big whales to start south of Perth, and head north to Ningaloo to perform for the whales sharks, then sail up across the top end of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef; where I will sing for the Minke whales and other underwater inhabitants in various spots teeming with life on the GBR and other Marine Parks that surround Australia.

As I see it, the only way to tell a moving story that inspires action is through awe, wonder and play. My mission over the coming decade is to give men, women and children a way to be part of taking care of what is most precious – the ecosystems that keep our bio sphere thriving for years to come.

The ‘Awe Experience’ takes us on a journey. It entices us into a mini revolution, an internal revolt that opens us.

Without asking for permission, it evolves our perceptions, our beliefs and the way we relate to the world around us. It is an experience that turns on a light inside us when we least expect it!

I gave my first successful u

nderwater concert test off Michaelmas Cay in the Great Barrier Reef. I have invested more than a 150k into my underwater gear, transportation and filming thus far. I wish is to do it again next year for two months this time, with a ten person crew.

I initially reached out to IKONIX, an Australian based team of professionals producing bespoke content and immersive environments using video, lighting, audio and architecture for a three part installation for museums. After reviewing my vision, they asked if I’d consider turning my initial three piece underwater concert installation into something much bigger.

Big Mother Touring is now doing the leg work needed to present Reef 360 in domes that will tour regional towns and cities across Australia over a five-year period of time, starting in regional towns in the first year.

Reef 360 is an opportunity for people across Australia to ensure coral species survive whilst we follow through with innovative solutions to cool reefs, like using the natural currents to distribute the deeper cooler water across the reef as a whole. This could be initiated right now! Add in Greening Australia’s initiative to repair the gullies and restore the wetlands that effect the GRB together we create a cocktail of NGOs working together to inspire a focused movement for ocean-centric and land management NGOs to work together. As I see it this is what we need onthe planet right now.

There are many individual organisations, scientist and environmentalists working singularly, but what happens they could work together. If you have an Oboe player playing alone in a concert hall or a cello it is not as effective to communicate a complete piece of music. But many instruments working together can create something magnificent to behold.

The environmental concern is the song, the individual organisations are the instruments in the orchestra. Working together in concert is the solution, and ultimate beautiful story!

This one-of-a-kind (((WOW!!!))) entertainment and educational experience gives children and adults the opportunity to participate in initiatives such as (but not limited to) adopting a coral species [GBR Legacy], hands-on repairing and restoring gullies and wetlands [Greening Australia], and adopting local marine reserves where invasive species require management [South East Marine Park Network and GBR Marin Park], and encourage them to come up with novel and unique solutions to issues at a local level.

We are committed to engaging young minds with an engineering design competition at universities to come up with innovative ways we can cool our reefs for future generations using wave energy to pump deeper cooler water across the natural currents that distribute water across the GBR in order to reduce future coral bleaching events.

Reef 360 is on the road to entertain, educate and connect marine scientists with primary, high school and university educators, giving children and adults the opportunity to literally adopt a coral species whilst being a part of a national GBR education fundraising initiative; plus other initiatives mentioned above; and more that will be announced.

“As coral reefs worldwide decline due to climate change, severe storm events and coral disease, the Great Barrier Reef Legacy team have decided it is time for ground breaking action to help preserve our reefs. Current approaches to securing the health and biodiversity of corals are not working, and with each coral bleaching event we are losing vulnerable coral species and reefs around the world.

Therefore, GBR Legacy have officially partnered with Corals of the World and Cairns Marine to safeguard the biodiversity of all known hard coral species by creating the worlds first Living Coral Biobank.” – Great Barrier Reef Legacy

The Reef 360 Dome features three – 360 format films: a 45 minute underwater concert performed by me; as well as two documentaries by Prospero Productions, in conjunction with an educational component where marine scientists engage directly with students.
The primary objective of these films is to: highlight the beauty and wonder of our oceans, as well as the current environmental issues the GBR and Marine Parks surrounding Australia face, and to inspire young people to have a voice in the conversation. Giving them and their families ways to participate in solutions for managing and protecting the health and well-being of our all important marine environment for future generations.

I personally feel we need to invest and build bridges into regional areas around the world by bringing top shelf music-driven spectacle to seed emerging solutions into communities who are often left out.

The Reef 360  includes viewings for the general public which include: Xtreme Sport, Live Music and Dancing Under-the-Sea, as well as mindful activities like yoga under the sea in the mornings before three school sessions. We plan to interface directly with schools in each town during the day. Laree Thorsby, Reef 360’s Tour and Education Coordinator is a teacher and tutor which makes her the perfect person to lead the educational modules.

Inspired by the Cirque du Soleil touring model, the domes will travel from town to town. They will be up for two weeks or more depending on the size of the town or city bringing the spectacle and awe of the ocean to regional towns that are normally left out of being exposed to exceptional out-of-the-box entertainment.

Cirque du Soleil took the world by storm. It created a blue ocean of new market space. Its blue ocean strategic move challenged the conventions of the circus industry. Cirque’s productions have been seen by more than 150 million spectators in more than 300 cities around the world.

A compelling aspect of Cirque du Soleil’s success is that it did not win by taking customers from the already shrinking circus industry, which historically catered to children. Instead, it created uncontested market space that made the competition irrelevant. It appealed to a whole new group of customers: adults and corporate clients prepared to pay a price several times as great as traditional circuses for an unprecedented entertainment experience לויטרה 20 מ”ג מחיר.”

Cirque du Soleil succeeded because it realized that to win in the future, companies

must stop competing in red oceans. Instead, they should create blue oceans of uncontested market space and make the competition irrelevant. ‒ Blue Ocean Strategy

By taking stunning, moving inspired entertainment that focuses on simple things we can do together – on the road – to where it is most needed on the planet, which are rural areas, we can create a Blue Ocean Strategy for the environment that opens hearts and minds.

As a performing artist and environmental activist living in the time of covid-19, innovation and adaptation is paramount. Seizing the opportunity to turn Reef 360 into a touring

vehicle is innovation in action.

THANK YOU IKONIX FOR THE INSPIRATION!

AND

THANK YOU PROSPERO PRODUCTIONS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Big Mother Touring and Reef 360 are targeting 80 regional towns over the next five years. Scroll down for a list of towns and theatres I have pollinated for many years now.

Below are two of the songs that inspired me to want to sing to whales and dolphins. They are also a part of a new album of music and a new 3D mapping show called It’s All a Beautiful Noise… Enjoy!

I am currently looking for like-minded individuals and organisations to support us in making Reef 360 a reality. Please contact us at admin@bigmotherentertainment.com if you are interested in learning more.

Try Toni’s Body Polish Recipe https://www.tonichilds.com/2020/01/18/toni-childs-heart-body-polish/ Sat, 18 Jan 2020 05:16:32 +0000 http://tonichildsnewsite.tonichilds.com/?p=11562 Try it you will love it!

My Heart Body Polish was created to assist us in healing and balancing the 4th Chakra – also called the Heart Chakra. We are talking about emotional healing and alignment with your true Self. Its location is about 2-3 inches above the solar plexus. It is associated with the color green and the ability to love our Self fully; to be compassionate, merciful and forgiving with ourselves and the world around us.

 

The most interesting thing about the Heart Chakra is that it is in the centre of all seven major chakras, and it is from the Heart centre that all the chakra centres must be consciously connected and balanced. Like a flower, the Heart and hub Chakra naturally radiates out to the world our true and beautiful essence, and is the focal point of our ability to give and receive love. If the heart is heavy and filled with hidden shame, criticism, regret, anger, resentment, and self-loathing, then it cannot fully open to give and receive the special gifts that are our birthright. The Heart Chakra is associated with the element of Metal.

Metal may seem like an odd pairing for the heart. But check this out, isn’t it true that metal must be extracted from the heart of the earth and forged with intentional vision and deliberate action? And like the heart, must not our love be extracted from the heart of our desire? And, forged with intentional vision and deliberate action?

It may not always be easy to feel love for ourselves and others. So by choosing to love. and learning how to forge the resonance of our personal love – and enjoy the quality of our love’s ring and the vibrational impact it has on the world we heal our beauty wounds, and therefore evolve ourselves and each other.

I recommend using Heart every day until the jar is finished. Shower upon waking and set your intention for the day ahead. Below are easy-to-follow instructions. The more sincerely you follow the directions, the better the results will be.

Notice how the Sesame Oil, Vanilla, Rose Oil and spices keep your intention anchored throughout the day.

Ingredients:

  • 16oz Raw washed organic Sugar Cane
  • Organic 1/2 cup Sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup organic Sunflower oil
  • 30 Drops Bulgarian Rose oil,
  • 15 drops of Sweet Orange
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 30 drops Sandalwood essential oil 
  • Whole organic Lavender Buds
  • 1 whole organic Star Anise
  • 3 Cloves
  • Organic Chamomile
  • Organic Milk Thistle
  • Rose Petals.

Normally I add in some natural flower essences that I really like… but I am not including these as they are not readily available.

Also very important… please play music that makes you feel good while you make these polishes. Consciously place your loving intention into the making of the polish, this will add tremendously to your experience… saying prayers, chanting mantras or singing  a celebratory song… it all works!

Put your spin on it!

Water Meditation Directions:

To begin, shower as you normally would. After cleansing, open the jar of Body Polish. Focus your mind on your Heart Chakra. Open the jar and take three deep breaths of the body polish. Imagine a massive spinning wheel of green light in your mind’s eye… (Note: You can sense the spinning wheel’s presence instead of having to visualise it.)

Once you’ve connected to the wheel, step into the wheel’s vortex, and onto a giant lotus flower.

Imagine yourself standing alone on a giant floating lotus flower in the middle of a small still lake. Breathe in the peace and look around. You are surrounded by beautiful mountains illuminated only by stars and the crescent moon at twilight just before dawn breaks.

Give yourself permission to experience your full radiant Divine Self.

Now breathe in the aroma of the polish, and let it help you to anchor and connect deeper and deeper with each breath into the Divine Presence, You Are. Imagine the power of your Divine Presence shooting out the ends of your hair, and the ends of your fingers and toes.

Let the knowledge and the full impact of connecting to this Divine Presence fill your entire body. Humbly acknowledge your power and beauty, and let yourself know you are entitled to be an authentically powerful person who is capable of living an extraordinary life.

When you feel fully connected to yourself, open your eyes, take a handful of polish and begin to gently scrub your body all the while saying;

I release all that is unlike love and all that does not serve the truth of who I am. I open my heart, my mind and my spirit, and I align with the beauty of who I am.

I want to thank you for choosing to be born… it takes great courage to be born into this world! I Love you and I support you!

Do this from head to toe. Applying this to hair will make it greasy so dab a bit of it on the crown of your head.

The purpose of this water meditation is to let go of all that does not serve you. That includes any blockages that get in the way of your health, or seeing you as you truly are.

After using the body polish, go back and lovingly touch every part of your body. Tell each body part that you love it, and thank it for the gifts it provides you with. 

Example: Thank you feet for walking me through life, I love you feet!! 

Send love to every cell in your body. You may want to create an affirmation for the day like “My thyroid is working in perfect balance!”. Or “I am capable of ——-!” Or maybe, “I give myself permission to take up space today and speak what is in my heart!” “It is ok to do what I really want to do!”

If you find it difficult to talk to your body in this way, imagine yourself as a little boy or girl who is needing to be loved. Make a game of it.

When I first started doing this I found myself unable to hold back the tears. A part of me really needed to be loved up and acknowledged!

I believe we have an opportunity to grow beyond what we’ve inherited by releasing the ancestral and personal patterns that hold us back from bridging to our innate internal Divine Self. We are all beautiful and powerful beyond measure. It is time to select the realities we want to create, and remember we have everything we need inside of us to live a fulfilling life.
