When Natalie Cole’s seminal Unforgettable…With Love came out in 1991, the jazz collection set a new standard for reinventing the Great American Songbook. The CD, which captured six Grammys, including Album and Record Of The Year, spent five weeks at No. 1 and sold more than eight million copies in the U.S. alone.

Yet instead of exploiting the moment and rushing out a second volume, Cole thoughtfully took a step back, devoted herself to several other stellar projects including her riveting autobiography, and waited until she felt ready to return to the songs that fulfill her heart and soul. Releasing Still Unforgettable on September 9, 2009 the album won two GRAMMYs, one for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Instrumental Accompanying Vocalist. It also earned Cole a NAACP Award for Best Jazz Artist.

And like so many of her fans, she finds the beauty in these songs and a mystique that is missing from much of contemporary music. “Many songwriters these days seem to feel that they have to tell it all,” she says. “They don't allow the audience to imagine. Everything is so graphic-there is no mystery.” "Conversely, the songs on Still Unforgettable go deeper into the treasure chest of great American songwriting, with lyrics and melodies that touch you and soothe you, appealing to your intellectual side, but most of all, appealing to your heart..."

Eric Bibb In duo mode with Swedish guitarist Staffan Astner.

International folk-blues master of songcraft, is returning to his Australian fans.

“Bibb possesses a warmly expressive voice and a fine sense of phrasing. He shines, too, as a guitarist with a quiet and confident approach” – Downbeat Magazine

“Eric Bibb’s performance at the three day London Guitar Festival at Queen Elizabeth Hall, was rich in soulful intensity” – Clive Davis, The Times London

“Bibb’s breezy, poetic blues makes for an intimate show, and his smooth laid-back style is enhanced with some neat guitar licks from Staffan Astner” – Guitar and Bass Magazine

A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience – both musically and spiritually. Purveying a beautifully realised and deftly accomplished, soulful and gospel infused, folk- blues, Eric has no problem melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sensibility. As one critic wrote “Eric’s singing and versatile guitar playing fuses a variety of genres to become a New World Blues”.

In duo mode for Eric will be accompanied by beautiful Swedish guitarist Staffan Astner, who is also featured on the live CD Troubadour Live! Eric performs with matchless ease and a poet's sensibility. He has criss-crossed the world paying his dues and absorbing musical influences, picking up countless awards and nominations, and mesmerising audiences along the way. Eric Bibb serves up some powerful tunes – aimed as much at the brain as well as the heart and soul.

"Eric is one of the new, young singers that has appeared on the scene that, much to my delight, has a great voice, is an excellent performer and has a great knowledge about the roots of this music" – Taj Mahal

Eric’s new CD “Deeper In the Well” is due for release in Australia in March.

“…still the original and best.” The Scotsman

“This virtuoso band started building crescendos from the start, each one higher than the last, until the final, shuddering chord left the roaring crowd breathless and cheering wildly” Evening News

Shooglenifty can be credited with being the founders of what has come to be known as Celtic fusion or, more descriptively, “acid croft.” A base of traditional tunes is tweaked, modified and added to with all manner of electronics, loops, funk bass and the like to create a hypnotic and often irresistible groove. Shooglenifty are nearer the ambient end of things, with their tunes stretching out and going down often unexpected byways before returning to the powerful rhythms that are their forte. Their latest album, two discs, is a mixture of live and studio recordings, some pieces in more than one version, with most tracks clocking in at least five minutes.

Live favourite “The Road To Bled”, which opens and closes the album (the latter an epic nine minute odyssey of a live performance with Ensemble Kabul), is the standout but everything else is not far behind. As a band renowned for the reeling intensity of their live shows, a recorded as live/live album was a good call and Murmichan captures the essence of the band perfectly.

John Waters returns in his critically acclaimed production Looking Through A Glass Onion – a homage to the music, mystery and memory of John Lennon.

“Glass Onion” was created by Waters and D’Arrietta back in January 1992 with a 5 week run in a small cabaret room at the Tilbury Hotel in Sydney’s Woolloomooloo as a two man show and was an instant success.

The opportunity arose to tour a three month season in the West End, London (1994) which Waters and D’Arrietta quickly snapped up, but not without preceding with another Australian tour to really cement the format of the show and a trip to New York to gain Yoko Ono’s approval (eventually received). “Glass Onion” has since successfully tour the country in 2001/02 and 2004.

The show is not a cut-and-paste biography of Lennon or an emulation of the original recordings. On stage, with shadows from the lighting arrangement fluttering over his face as he explores the essence of the man through song and spoken word, Waters, becomes synonymous with Lennon. He shies away from imitating the artist, but so emotive is his performance, it lulls the audience into believing anything is possible. Its part concert and part biography thought it doesn’t seek to tell the full story of Lennon’s life.

For the past 50 years the Legendary Monroe Powell has been a recording and touring lead vocalist with internationally acclaimed groups. Firstly with The Dominoes, but by far is most recognised as lead vocalist of The Platters.

The Platters garnered 16 Gold Records and attained international fame and immortality through the romantic ballads that continue to be played and loved all over the world today.

Today The Platters continue to perform the world over bringing back memories of romance and simpler times with their delicatley balanced harmonies.

Beautiful voices, beautiful songs, beautiful music.

If it wasn’t for Australia there wouldn’t have been a ‘JA-AR’. Without JA-AR there would never have been John Rowles, and for that the New Zealand born entertainer is eternally grateful.

Now on his 65th Birthday in March 2012, Rowles returns to Australia to where his journey in the Music Business began for a farewell tour, entitled ‘Now is the hour – The Final Bow’.

As Australia’s oldest band St Joe’s have been an integral part of the Launceston community since 1845.

After spending the lions share of 2011 in the USA touring, THE McCLYMONTS have returned home to announce their third album ‘TWO WORLDS COLLIDE’ will be released in June 2012. First single lifted from the album will be ‘HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN’ released January 20.

When a guitar virtuoso and one of Australia's most creative composers and blues guitarists team up, the result is unforgettable. Pete Hawkes is a composer with the ability to transcend several musical genres and he is certainly one of Australia's most creative and interesting composers for acoustic music to emerge in the last decade with over 30 albums covering jazz, blues, Celtic, and classical music including concertos and orchestral works.

The last couple of years have been an amazing time for guitarist Phil Emmanuel: not only did he perform to an estimated worldwide audience of 4.5 billion at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics with brother Tommy, but the recent 50th year anniversary tour with his younger brother in 2010 was the beginning of the forgotten sons return to the limelight and recognition that he so undeniably deserves.

One show only, one chance to see Australia's greatest musical talent in a rare combination in the same show.

For over fifteen years, Dave Battah has thrilled audiences from Las Vegas to London ,the Middle East and even the North Pole with his stunning recreation of the unmistakable gritty vocals and energetic stage persona of music legend, Rod Stewart.

In his spectacular two hour show, he effortlessly glides through all of Rod’s big hits, from rowdy tunes such as Hot Legs and Do Ya’ Think I’m Sexy, to romantic ballads such as Have I Told You Lately, to trademark ballads such as Sailing and Maggie May as well as favorites from Rods “Great American Songbook.

Joining Dave on stage will be Ashleigh Toole – Australian Idol Finalist - who will ‘turn back time’ with her tribute to her favourite artist, Cher.

If you would love the chance to see Rod Stewart perform live, don’t miss the opportunity to see Dave Battah’s Forever Rod. This spellbinding performance is guaranteed to be as close as you are likely to get to the ‘real Rod’.

The music and the magic that defined a generation. A tribute to the greatest band the world has ever known and the most timeless artist of the rock n’ roll era as they come together to create a music fantasy that is more fact than fiction.

Over two hours of unforgettable hits that shaped an era and left all who lived it on a high. If you remember the 60’s you weren’t there but when you join Australian music legend Marty Rhone and the remarkable Beatle Boys you will experience an evening you will never forget.
