Celebrating Tom Waits

Surrealist. Vaudevillian. Carnival Barker. Crooner. Godfather of Grit, Gravel and Glitter. Tom Waits is all these and more... Celebrating Tom Waits pays homage to the one and only Tom Waits - his music, his style and his legacy. Featuring a stellar line-up of guest vocalists: *Hugo Race (The Wreckery) *Dave Graney (Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes) *Richie Weed (Tumbleweed) *Peter Fenton (Crow) Tom Waits is truly one of the world’s greatest and most unique talents, with a stunning back catalogue spanning over 4 decades and a breadth across smoky jazz, wry balladry and muscular barnyard funk. Celebrating Tom Waits promises a spellbinding journey through Waits’s musical highlights, mining his most memorable moments. Hugo Race, Dave Graney, Richie Weed and Peter Fenton draw on their own remarkable and personal experiences as profound shapers of the Australian musical landscape to bring the Waits’ catalogue to life. Each will interpret the ‘Prince of Melancholy’s’ brilliant songs and wistful melodies. Wait’s colourful troupe of thespian misfits come captivatingly to life in this powerful, poignant and unique celebration.
