Get ready for an unforgettable night of live music! Pete Cornelius is thrilled to unveil his brand-new album SOUTHERN, and he can’t wait to bring it to life on stage.
To celebrate, he’s hitting the road with a talented lineup of long-time musical collaborators and a few special guests joining in at each stop. This tour is more than a series of shows—it’s a gathering of artists who have shaped his music and shared the journey with him.
Expect soulful tunes, gritty guitar riffs, and raw energy as Pete and his crew deliver the best of Southern alongside fan favourites and maybe even some surprise performances.
Come be part of the celebration, help launch Southern in style, and let’s make it a night to remember!
Joining the line-up in Hobart is young folk singer songwriter Rupert Bullard.
“With Southern, Pete Cornelius has crafted an album of grit, toughness and beauty. His guitar playing is as lyrical and evocative as his vocal delivery and features as a second “voice” on the record – the two complementing rather than competing with each other in sheer storytelling perfection.From the deepest south of Tasmania, Pete Cornelius has revealed himself as the real deal and created an album that showcases an artist at the peak of his powers.” – Josh Cunningham, The Waifs
Japanese-born Montz Matsumoto‘s banjo and voice have entertained Australian audiences in festivals, venues, local markets and streets for almost 20 years. Montz and his band Voicestrings will showcase his new album Missing Home. The audience will experience many mesmerizing moments of tranquillity, excitement, affinity, and innovation.
This is the concert to showcase the music from Montz’s 3rd Album Missing Home. The album is a collection of Bluegrass, Celtic and Montz’s original Japanese songs and instrumentals which takes you through many mesmerizing moments of foot-tapping rhythm and virtuosic improvisations and tranquillizing melodies. All the musicians in this project have a wide range of musical backgrounds and experiences.
North Carolinian bass player Ross Sermons toured all over the US and has experienced almost all kinds of American music. Huon-based flautist Elisse Kleiner has been experimenting with a wide music horizon like folk, Brazilian, and contemporary music after she studied classical music and performed with the Melbourne Symphony. Paddy Montgomery on guitar and bouzouki is one of the most demanded instrumentalists in the Australian acoustic music scene who is very fluent in Celtic, Bluegrass, Greek and Middle Eastern traditional music. Cloudy Davey has been singing all around the Barossa Valley, SA.

Recently returned from touring in UK and EU, Finn Rees puts together a full ensemble for this special one-off show playing music from his debut album Dawn Is A Melody.
Finn Rees is a well loved Tasmanian born, Melbourne/Naarm based keyboardist, composer and producer who has built up an eclectic reputation for his music work both down under and internationally over the last decade. He has a knack for capturing emotions and intriguing minds, whatever medium he chooses and can be seen performing and collaborating in some of the most forward thinking projects such as 30/70, Close Counters, Allysha Joy, Audrey Powne and more. Drawn to jazz from a young age his influences come from some of the most inventive jazz artists such as Alice Coletrane, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea or Brazilian legends Arthur Verocai, Cesar Camargo Mariano or Azymuth.
His debut record Dawn Is A Melody is out on tastemaker label Mr Bongo records with a fast-growing hype internationally. This much anticipated venture into his solo work explores a new synergy between modal and spiritual jazz, psychedelic soul, lush orchestral arrangements and heartfelt piano and features some of Melbourne’s finest musicians. It’s been nominated for best jazz album at Music Victoria awards, featured as Jazz Album of the week on JazzFM UK and French radio FIP, as well as support from Gilles Peterson on Worldwide FM, BBC London with Robert Elms as well as 4 stars from MOJO magazine.
This special Tassie show is a rare opportunity to experience the music in its fullest, brought to life by a vibrant and uplifting 12 piece mini orchestra.

‘Salamanca Jazz’ is Live in the Founders Room on Woobys Lane, with the Konrad Park Quint-tet
Saturday 19th October 2024 Doors & bar open at 7pm Music from 7:30pm
The Founders Room on Woobys Lane Salamanca Arts Centre
~~~~~ Timing is everything.
This new quintet lead by Konrad Park, has the hallmark of the great quintets as they developed in the seventies through to the mid-eighties. A ferocious dynamic range, extremes of emotion from pure melody to epic modal abstractions.
Expanding on Konrad’s recent musical ventures, this quintet reflects the largeness of sound, typical of the great quintets from this time.
The personnel in the band, having reached critical points in their careers, find themselves reaching for the big quintet sound. This exciting repertoire includes material from the VSOP Quintet, early Wynton Marsalis, Jaki Byard and many more.
Noticeably Joshua Ford-King (trumpet) has been developing his sound of recent years and it is now time to unleash the beast, as he has recently done with his own quintet. JFK, having seen the Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra last year, came away with a belly full of world class music. He has been reflecting this influence in his live performances ever since.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pianist Dan Sulzberger has long demonstrated a command over any style of modern improvised music. He brings joy and an ability to tackle this demanding harmonic landscape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hamish Houston provides the drive and physical momentum required from the bass role; his playing is surpassed only by his commitment to jazz music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Al Dobson reflects the lyricism of many great saxophonists, allowing this quintet to take full flight through the experience and conviction of his musical voice.
