Borich was a member of the La De Da’s, the Party Boys and the Kevin Borich Express.
Each will play their own solo hits and originals before coming together at the end for a performance sure to blow the roof off The Gov.
Also taking to the stage are Carla and Dusty Lee, opening with a collection of songs from the 27 Club, one of the hit shows at this year’s Adelaide Fringe.
