To honour this achievement and the song that started it all off for her, Melinda will perform a nostalgic concert taking the audience back through her remarkable journey with stories and songs. Melinda will reflect upon the numerous life experiences and the impressive transformations which have shaped her life over the past two decades –  everything from sell out seasons at Sydney Opera House with her Doris Day stage show and the brave choice to go public with her battle around anxiety and depression, to her marriage to Choirboys front man, Mark Gable and the birth of their son, Sullivan.

The Story Of My Life, which won Melinda Female Vocalist of the Year in 2003, quickly became a chart-topping sensation, capturing the hearts of country music fans everywhere. The song's honest lyrics and Melinda's soulful voice struck a chord with listeners, ‘I remember hearing many young artists perform my song in talent quests, it was so weird to hear them sing ‘I was born in 71, policeman dad and a yodelling mum’, cause I think I’m probably one of the only people who can claim that combination of parents’, she laughs.

Her Capitol Theatre performance will showcase Melinda's immense talent as she delivers powerful renditions of her greatest hits, including Real People, I Wanna Be Married, Be Yourself and the new, updated version of The Story Of My Life. ‘A few years ago I wrote a new verse and chorus to acknowledge the surprise ending to my life story…well, so far. Meeting Mark and having Sullivan have been the best things to have happened to me and I’m so thankful’.  Fans can also expect to hear songs from her highly anticipated new original album – her first since 2008’s Be Yourself, titled Tender.
