Celebrate love, music, and the magic of jazz this Valentine’s Day at A Night of Sweet Romance, a special concert designed to sweep audiences into an evening of elegance, passion, and timeless melody.

This elegant evening features Robyn Brown & The Indigo Collective, delivering a rich tapestry of songs exploring love, longing, connection, and desire.

Hailing from the Sunshine Coast, Robyn Brown is one of Queensland’s most respected jazz and blues vocalists, celebrated for her warm, soulful tone, elegant phrasing, and captivating stage presence. Described as “a gifted vocalist of sultriness and style… Brown suffuses the blues with elegance and jazz with attitude” (Rhythms Magazine), her voice has also been praised as “smooth, silky, like warm, flowing milk chocolate” (Herb Fenn).

Together with her band The Indigo Collective—a lineup featuring some of Queensland’s finest musicians—Robyn creates an unforgettable musical experience defined by smooth grooves, classic swing, jazz-fusion textures, spontaneous improvisation, and jazz-infused blues. Their performances combine original tunes, reimagined standards, clever arrangements, and exceptional musicianship: a package audiences can’t get enough of.

 Robyn Brown & The Indigo Collective bring sophistication, heart, and passion to the stage—making them the perfect centrepiece for an evening celebrating romance, longing, and the timeless soul of jazz.

A Night of Sweet Romance will feature a curated selection of songs celebrating the many shades of love—tender ballads, sultry blues, passionate swing, and melodies that speak straight to the heart.
