From his acclaimed performance in The Rocky Horror Show, Paul Capsis returns for his first solo Sydney shows since 2007 to perform songs that inspire him - a little pop, rock, gospel and soul in a way only he can.
New Orleans Blues
Don has a voice made of gravel and fingers that can swing the blues like no one else.
An influential part of Sydney's Blues scene since the 1970s, piano player and vocalist, Don Hopkins was inducted into the Goulburn Australian Blues Music Festivals Blues Walk Of Fame in 2002.
A Don Hopkins performance draws from the rich vein of blues and jazz of the 1920s and 30s through to the r&b, and soul of the 1950s and 60s with the emphasis on the New Orleans, piano styles. Dons own compositions are included in the mix.
Saturday 4th July From 2.30-6pm(Vanguard Cronulla)
JEFF DUFF
Jeff Duff is the Lounge, Jazz, Swing King. A world class voice that can sound like Tom Jones one minute then passionately switch to the emotion of David Bowie. Come watch Duffo sing all the standards.
Sat 4 & 18 July
PETER MORGAN
Acoustic Soul
The demand for Peter’s warm soulful voice has seen him perform both nationally and internationally. Peter has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the legendary Supremes and touring with Randy Crawford, The Pointer Sisters, Renee Geyer and Tina Arena. Tonight Peter will be performing a repertoire of acoustic soul from Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and many more classics.
Sun 28 June & Sun 5 July(Vanguard Cronulla)
CASS EAGER
Cass Eager's music takes heed of Soul, Funk and Blues, and is solidly dished up with Roots and Rhythm. Her distinctive pipes and guitar playing have drawn comparisons to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to JoniMitchell, Nina Simone and Ben Harper . . . with a hint of Janis Joplin always thrown in. Despite these comparisons, 'soul sister Cass is no pale imitation' (NDL). With her trademark rhythmic acoustic guitar sound, husky-soaked vocals and effortless melodies, she's beendescribed as 'one of Sydney's most gifted singer-songwriters, whose
refreshingly honest, raspy, almost Joplin-esque like voice is hers alone,and whose eclectic songwriting will spellbind the listener.' (Drum Media). Cass is armed with an acoustic and lap steel guitar, electric ukulele and stompbox, and joining Cass is blues guitarist powerhouse
Jono Dallimore.
