Tones And I

🚨 WE NEED YOU – LAST DAY! 🚨

Today is the final day before Tones And I announces the winner tomorrow.

The Cassowary Coast and Far North Queensland have absolutely wrapped their arms around our tiny town of El Arish and us here at the El Arish Tavern.

In just a few days, we’ve grown to 2,300+ followers on the Tones at The Tavern page — and we’re honestly blown away.

Since creating the page on Monday, the response has been phenomenal — the likes, comments, shares, phone calls, messages, and the people walking into the Tavern every single day asking how they can help. We feel the love, and we’re so grateful for every single one of you. ❤️

Special shoutout to:
🎤Alisa Q. Entertainment & Locky Wayne — for the pop-up gig on Thursday and performing Dance Monkey for the first time (goosebumps don’t even cover it).

🎥 Matt from The Local — for jumping on the camera and whipping up the video for our page.

📺📻 And all the incredible media support from 9 News Queensland, 7NEWS Cairns, Star 102.7 Cairns and Kool FM, 98.3.

Let’s make it happen.

The stage is set — and this won’t just be a performance… it will be an experience.

👉 Please keep tagging Tones And I, sharing, commenting, and spreading the word.

Let’s bring her to El Arish and let her experieve what the Cassowary Coast has to offer.

Let’s do this together.

Cheers,
Alex & Tori
