event details

Beautifully Mad are performing a very rare concert with their 6 piece band. Featuring Nina Vox - lead vocals, Tony King - vocals/guitar, Bill Risby - piano, Natalie Risby and Lalo Risby - Bass, Hamish Stuart - drums, Craig Walters - sax. Australian Songwriter of the year 2020 & ARIA awards winners Beautifully Mad take you on a breathtaking ride of original music that recalls the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz. “Popped into the Basement for one drink and stayed the whole night. Great songwriting!” Michael McDonald – The Doobie Brothers ...”Tony King is one of the country’s finest guitarists” - Jonathan Biggins “highly original, evocative and moreish. In performance they are engaging, incredibly versatile and inventive, an altogether class act” - Bob Connolly & Sophie B Raymond (Mrs Carey’s Concert) "Beautifully Mad" were simply stunning. Excellent band and fabulous voices combined with lyrics that can only have come from people who have really lived, loved, lost & laughed through life. Their songs cut straight to the heart as they transported us. Thoroughly delightful entertainment! -Bill Arnett, Folkus Room Canberra
