The Adelaide band, all huge fans of Bowie in their own right, is fronted by the vividly artistic Paul Matthews who has been described as having “a beautiful voice that is so similar to Bowie himself, it's eerie.” Backed by an equally impressive band to boot that features Marco Giardini (keys etc.), Guy Hunt (guitar), Dan Irizzary (bass), Mark Hudson (saxophone, percussion and more) and Matt Carter (drums). Ashes To Ashes brings to the stage a seasoned professionalism that has been described as “fabulous”, “brilliant” and “unbelievable”.
“We create a show that replicates the studio produced songs and capture the dynamism of live shows reminiscent of the ‘Reality Tour’ period of Bowie’s career“, says Guy Hunt. “We deliver a show that incorporates all the radio friendly hits that one would expect, but we also throw in a few deep-cuts… songs that stray from the mainstream a bit.”
Performing all of Bowie’s illustrious hits such as: Heroes, Let’s Dance, Rebel Rebel, Space Oddity, Ziggy Stardust, Life On Mars, Young Americans, Modern Love and more.
