Studio Paradise

🎶 LIVE MUSIC AT STUDIO PARADISE 🎶

Looking for something a little different — and beautifully wholesome — to do on a Saturday night? ❤️

We’re super excited to welcome our very own Studio Paradise members Sam & Scout — aka SAMSCOUT samscout — to the St Andrews Beach Shala for a very special live gig celebrating the launch of their brand new single ‘cascade’.

~ we all share a mother ~ we can free each other ~

For one night, we’re transforming the Shala into an intimate live music space where Sam & Scout will share ‘cascade’, along with songs and stories from their upcoming debut album ‘Painted Lines’.

Think beautiful harmonies, vocals, guitar & synthesiser, cushions, blankets, warm cacao and delicious herbal teas… ☕🎶✨

Get comfy, settle in and let the music take you on a journey.

SAMSCOUT’s music has already received airplay across triple j Unearthed, PBS 106.7 FM and more, as well as recently featuring on Apple Music’s ‘New in Pop’ playlist — and we feel pretty lucky to have them launching their newest single right here at Studio Paradise.

So grab your partner, bring a friend and come enjoy a beautiful night out while supporting two incredibly talented local artists — and two of our very own SP community. ❤️

No noisy bar. No rushing around.

Just great live music, good people, warm cacao and a beautiful atmosphere.

Sounds like a pretty perfect Saturday night to us!

🎶 SAMSCOUT: ‘cascade’ Single Launch
📅 Saturday 3rd October
📍 Studio Paradise | St Andrews Beach Shala
☕ Warm cacao & delicious herbal teas included
🎟️ Exchange: $39 | SP Members $29

Spaces are limited for this intimate gig, so book your tickets, bring your crew and help us fill the Shala for Sam & Scout! 🙌❤️

🙏✨ KIRTAN FOR A CAUSE — NEPAL FLOODS APPEAL

Join us for a joyful and heartfelt evening of kirtan with Uma and Krishna as we come together to support those affected by the devastating floods in Nepal.

📅 Friday 25th September
⏰ 7pm–8.30pm
📍 Dromana Shala

Kirtan is a beautiful practice of call-and-response chanting and an expression of Bhakti Yoga—the yoga of love and devotion. Through music, mantra and singing together, we can quieten the mind, open the heart and experience a powerful sense of connection and community.

No previous experience is needed, and you don’t need to consider yourself a singer! Simply come as you are, raise your voice and allow yourself to be carried by the music and collective energy in the room.

💛 Suggested donation: $1–$100
💛 100% of all proceeds will be donated directly to the Prime Minister of Nepal’s Floods Appeal

Can’t join us on the night? You can still book in and make a donation—we’ll ensure your contribution is passed on as part of the appeal.

Come experience the joy of kirtan, open your heart and help make a meaningful difference for the people of Nepal. 🙏✨

Much love, SP

OUR NEXT SP BOOK CLUB READ HAS BEEN DRAWN...

After such a beautiful first SP Book Club gathering, we had some fantastic suggestions for what we should read next. They all went into the lucky dip bowl and, in true SP style, our next book was drawn at random...

And it's going to be a fascinating read!

📖 The Buddhist & The Ethicist
by Peter Singer & Shih Chao-Hwei

What happens when one of the world's leading ethicists and a Buddhist teacher come together to explore some of life's biggest questions?

Drawing from Effective Altruism and Engaged Buddhism, this thought-provoking book explores compassion, happiness, suffering, our responsibility to others and ultimately... what does it mean to live a good life?

We have a feeling this one is going to spark some incredible conversation!

Our Book Club will once again be hosted by our wonderful SP member Sue Barmos—published author, former literature teacher and contributor to the well-known anthology Splash.

No literary expertise required. No right or wrong answers. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to share, listen and connect.

☕ Tea & light refreshments provided
📍 St Andrews Beach Shala
🗓 Sunday 4th October
⏰ 2.00pm – 4.00pm
💙 $30 + Book

Simply grab your own copy of The Buddhist & The Ethicist and start reading!

And if you missed our first gathering, don't worry—everyone is welcome to join SP Book Club at any time.

Book via the SP App or studioparadise.com.au/events

Thoughtful books. Meaningful conversations. Beautiful people. 💙

Much love, SP
