MARK DABIN — AUSSIE SONGBOOK-ACOUSTIC TRIO
A high-energy acoustic celebration of classic and contemporary Australian music.
A high-energy acoustic trio celebration of classic and contemporary Australian music.
The Aussie Songbook is one of my favourite shows to perform live.
Growing up, I have fond memories of hearing these songs on the radio—and let’s not forget the Kiwi legends who found a home in Australian hearts, including Split Enz, Crowded House, and Dragon.
These songs take me straight back to warm summer nights, catching bands with mates at pubs and clubs.
The Aussie Songbook celebrates great Australian songwriting, bringing these timeless songs to life with three vocalists, acoustic guitar, double upright bass, and a stripped back drum kit.
Expect nothing but classic Aussie songs all night—with plenty of fun, dancing, and crowd sing-alongs. It’s a trip down memory lane, featuring artists such as INXS, Australian Crawl, Men at Work, Cold Chisel, Richard Clapton, Icehouse, GANGgajang, Midnight Oil, The Angels, The Church, and Paul Kelly.
The show also includes newer Australian songwriters such as Vance Joy, Boy & Bear, Pete Murray, Angus & Julia Stone, Powderfinger, Bernard Fanning, and Eskimo Joe.
Keep it simple. Keep it real.
