Songs of Sydney
Creative Sydney
You’ve never heard them like this before. A stellar line-up of local musicians reinterpret classic Sydney songs in some weird and wonderful ways, presented in association with FBI, The Brag and MusicNSW.
Hear the likes of Old Man River, Spod, Sui Zhen, Loene Carmen and members of Dappled Cities, Bridezilla, RedSunBand, Tom Ugly along with special guests Simon Day (Ratcat) and Dave Graney reinterpreting old-school hits and indie classics, all backed by a supergroup of a house band featuring Lindsay McDougall (Triple J, Frenzal Rhomb), Cec Condon (The Mess Hall), Sam Worrad (The Holy Soul) and Cameron Bruce (Waikiki, The Beautiful Girls).
The night will open with a set by three generations of Sydney performers all from the one family - Holiday Sidewinder (Bridezilla), her mother Loene Carmen and grandfather Peter Head - performing some of Peter's classic songs about Sydney such as "King of the Cross" (about Abe Saffron) and "William St Blues".
