Things of Stone and Wood: The Final Forest Tour. Supported by Wil Wagner (Smith Street Band).
Nearly 40 years ago a rag-tag bunch of folkies got together and formed a band called Things of Stone and Wood that went on to define Melbourne in the early 90s. Off the back of their top 10 single ‘Happy Birthday Helen’, the band achieved national success, ARIA and APRA awards, international tours, a gold album ‘The Yearning’ and even a Late Show parody, kicking off a career that would make them one of Australia's most loved and enduring acoustic bands.

Fast forward to 2026 and the band are still here, doing what they do best: playing passionate and energetic live shows, and recording and releasing new music. November sees the band touring their second album for the year, the 70’s retro inspired The Final Forest.
The Final Forest is the twin album to their March 2026 Album Rae Street, which debuted at #10 on the ARIA Australian Album chart). It’s a classic, band-in-the-studio approach (rather than bedroom folk) with all the authenticity and TOSAW vibes, built upon the simple foundation of a piano trio playing live. Era appropriate close harmonies feature heavily, reminding us that they began their life as a band drinking beers and singing in a share house. It is charming, a little rough, and almost impossible not to feel the love.
The band will be launching The Final Forest with select shows around the country. They will debut the new tunes (as well as Rae Street ‘almost new’ tunes) alongside classic radio hits like “Happy Birthday Helen”, “Wildflowers”, “Rock This Boat” and “Share This Wine”.
Come on down and see how this band, with two albums and two tours for 2026 continue hold their place as one of “Melbourne’s most inspired and inspiring acoustic band[s]” (Michael Dwyer).
