Overview

James Morrison is a musical genius, a multi-instrumentalist, and a highly entertaining showman, who always delivers an unforgettable performance.  

After last year’s sell out success tour across Australia, he’s back with a blast! Together with his big band, they’ll be embarking on a national tour with a very special show performing the swing classics made famous by the likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Sinatra, and more. 

We’re thrilled to announce that joining James on stage will be Australian music icon and multi-award winning singer/songwriter Melinda Schneider, and an all-star big band boasting some of the best jazz musicians in the country.

Joining James on stage will be some very special guests and an All-Star Big Band, boasting some of the best jazz musicians in the country. 

If you’ve heard James Morrison with a small band and fallen for his musical magic, imagine that superb sound with twice the trumpets and trombones, three times the saxophones, incredible guest musicians and James trumpeting away in the lead like a man possessed! 

“It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got that Swing!”

Book now to be part of this special celebration – tickets will sell fast!
