Michael J Brady Trio 'Bouquet' Tour w. ZEAL.H & Naomi Jones
Join us on the 12th of April as we welcome The Michael J Brady Trio to Newcastle.
Guitarist Michael J Brady weaves melodies between the guitar, double bass, and drum set. With drummer Ryu Kodama and bassist Oscar Peterson, the trio explores the beautiful corners of each instrument through dynamic builds and effects. Brady draws influence widely from guitarists-guitarists like Julian Lage and Tony Rice, and Australian Jazz artists like Alister Spence and Sandy Evans. The trio have toured Australia’s east coast, and performed alongside artists such as Evans, Stella Anning (MEL), Flora Carbo (VIC), and Sasha Gavlek (TAS).
