# The Bunkerdown Sessions

The Bunkerdown Sessions was a series of live-stream concerts by Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem, held in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Goodrem commenced the series in April 2020 as a way to stay connected with, and uplift fans during Australia's COVID-19 lockdowns. The Australian live music industry suffered significantly throughout 2020 and 2021 with many venues forced to close, and concert tours either cancelled or postponed. Goodrem's own tour for her album Bridge over Troubled Dreams (2021) was originally scheduled to occur in 2021, but was forced to reschedule twice due to ongoing restrictions. It eventually took place in 2022.
Throughout the lifespan of the concert series, Goodrem and guitarist Matthew Copley live-streamed to Goodrem's social media platforms every Thursday evening from her house in Sydney. In a relaxed and impromptu manner, Goodrem engaged with fans and performed requests. Songs performed regularly included b-sides, rarities and album tracks from across her career, as well as unreleased songs and covers, usually centred around a theme for the week.
Of the series, Goodrem said, “Every week people tuned in and we stayed connected. I got into music for unity – music is about bringing people together.”
