Day on the Green 2010
Saturday, 27 February 2010
Roundhouse Entertainment and the Frontier Touring Company are delighted to announce Grammy award-winning pianist and singer Diana Krall will be returning to our shores in 2010 and, in a world first, will be joined by the sublime talents of Madeleine Peyroux and Melody Gardot.
Diana will perform at five ‘a day on the green’ events nationally as part of her February/March concert tour, which will also see her play at indoor entertainment centres backed by 42-piece symphony orchestras.
The wonderful Katie Noonan and the Captains will also perform at the ‘a day on the green’ concerts.
Diana will tour Australia for the first time since 2005 in support of her twelfth album Quiet Nights (released in March through Universal). Since her last visit she has given birth to twin boys, released four albums, produced and performed on Barbra Streisand’s new album, and toured extensively across the United States, Europe and UK.
Returning to Australia and New Zealand for the first time since her sold out 2007 tour is the soulful and enigmatic Madeleine Peyroux. Her latest album offering Bare Bones (Universal) is the follow-up to previous albums Half The Perfect World and her million plus selling breakthrough album Careless Love. The Australian wrote of her last tour “...her singing was spectacular. Her tone was sweet and vulnerable and her phrasing was elastic…”
Rounding out this phenomenal touring lineup is Melody Gardot, who recently took Australia by storm during a short promotional visit in support of her new album My One and Only Thrill (Universal). The Sydney Morning Herald wrote of her showcase concert “Gardot feels and looks like a star” and when you learn that she came to her current career through music therapy while recovering from a near fatal accident, her talents are even more remarkable.
Multi award-winning and platinum selling songstress Katie Noonan has charmed Australian audiences for more than a decade with her exquisite vocals. Katie’s most recent album ‘Blackbird’ was a beautiful collection of Lennon-McCartney songs, recorded in New York with the cream of jazz musicians, enabling her to combine her two loves of pop and jazz music. Katie and her band, The Captains, will open the day’s music in fine style.
Don’t miss Diana Krall with very special guests Madeleine Peyroux, Melody Gardot and Katie Noonan in concert this February/March.
