Shortis and Simpson have embarked on a series of shows that explore the musical influences of a notable guest. So far these have featured Keith Potger of The Seekers, political journalist Karen Middleton, local blues muso DJ Gosper, Nigel and Beth who run Smith’s, and Michael Simic (Mikelengelo of Black sea Gentlemen fame). Next in this impressive line-up is local singer/songwriter/author, Fred Smith.
In Under the Influence, Shortis and Simpson lead Fred Smith through the singers, the songwriters, the seminal moments, from childhood to the present, that have informed his musical endeavours. And of course the story of his ‘real job’ in the Public Service and his experiences in places like Bougainville and Afghanistan.
Surprising, revealing, funny, entertaining, poignant - don’t miss Under the Influence.
NOTE: This show may contain strobe lighting and haze.
