Currently treating international listeners to his musical talents in Germany, René LeFeuvre will soon headline the 2024 Bendigo Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr Christmas Carols set for Sunday 8 December.
From touring across the world to enrolling in acting classes, 2024 has been nothing short of showstopping for René, and he’s looking forward to touching back down in Australia later this month for another outstanding performance on home soil.
“I’m grateful to be performing again this year for the Burdekin Christmas Carols,” shared René.
“My North Queensland Tour was a great success, and the highlight was definitely performing at the Giru International – thank you to everyone that came, and hopefully we can do it again soon!”
Polishing off the final performances of his tour, René has found much joy in sharing his music and stories with international audiences, despite the change in weather conditions!
“My international tour has been incredible - I’m freezing over here though!
“I just landed in Cologne, Germany, and the audiences have been amazing to play to and everyone is very interested in my story of growing up in Giru on a mango farm – they think it’s crazy that I’m on the other side of the world performing for them!”
René cannot wait to bring plenty of Christmas cheer to the region with his December performance, adding he’s hoping to bring his parents up on stage for a boogie along with spending plenty of quality time with his family and friends.
“I’ll spend a couple of days home before heading back to Sydney to continue writing and recording my second album,” explained René.
“Before I go though, I’ll definitely be scoffing down some of mum’s cooking – particularly her ravioli, it’s the best!”
Looking ahead, René has plenty on the cards already for 2025, with plans to embark on more national and international tours, and even hopes to take up jiu jitsu classes in his spare time.
“I will be based in Sydney for the next twelve months working hard on my songwriting and musicianship, and having recently taken on acting classes, I think I’ll spend more time in America, but we’ll see what the new year brings!”
2024 has been huge for René, and 2025 is only looking bigger!
