About this Event
In Down To Earth, Bruce Mathiske delivers big, cinematic sound created by one man on stage. Reimagined rock classics by The Rolling Stones, U2 and Frank Sinatra sit alongside stunning original compositions which have earned him international acclaim.
Between songs, Bruce's infectious charm and playful wit shine through as he shares stories and cracks a few jokes, drawing you into his inspiring world of music.
Expect the spirit of classic rock, the fire of flamenco, the groove of blues and the depth of traditional Australian sounds, all woven together with astonishing technical brilliance and real emotional punch.
Then the didgeridoo enters. Its deep, primal drone adds a visceral, earthy dimension to Bruce’s original compositions, creating moments of pure immersion and lifting the performance into another dimension.
Described by critics as “addictive” and “astonishing,” Bruce Mathiske is hailed as the best all-round guitarist this county has produced. Notes fly, rhythms pulse, and audiences are left wondering how one musician can create such a huge sound.
One stage. One guitar. One extraordinary experience!
In this performance of Down To Earth, Mathiske will be joined by special guest Steve Cowley.
