LIVE AT SARAH'S SHOWCASE ARTISTS

 

 

Richie Robinson - Acpoustic Jazz Guitar

Richie Robinson

A dynamic performer, Richie's passion lies somewhere between jazz, rock, and the blues. Sometimes you'll hear every flavour at once; Other times, you'll hear a well-travelled master of jazz and blues guitar.

Richie Robinson will change your expectations of the instrument with the ability to improvise and innovate as a free thinker, and the heart and soul to keep it real.

Photo Coming Soon

Snooks LaVie

Snooks La Vie has been a prominent figure in the Adelaide blues circuit since the early 1990s. Since those beginnings, Snooks has become a highly respected musician within the R & B scene both locally and nationally proving to be one of Australia’s elite Blues/Soul vocalists and an outstanding harmonica player.

An astute interpreter of roots based music, Snooks performs with electrifying energy and maturity and is well known on the scene as front man for THE HIPTONES.

Jayne-Anne Power

Coming Soon..........

 

Dave McEvoy

David McEvoy is described by many of SA's finest musicians as their preferred pianist. This is because Dave is such a tasteful player that he makes the music really come to life while leaving enough room for every player in the band to shine. This is an extremely rare talent for a pianist, and David delivers it with a depth of feeling that is all one can ask for.

He has accompanied many notable touring and local musicians, and currently teaches in the jazz department at Adelaide University.

 

Les Millar

Les is a well travelled master of double bass. Having played with a number of known acts here and overseas, Les now also teaches bass at Adelaide’s Elder Conservatorium. Doubling as a vocalist, Les’ style not only carries smooth jazz and rock with ease, but punches out the power of Buble in full swing. Les is a very welcome and valuable addition to Richie’s “Jazz Kats” team.

Mike Bevan

Mike is one of SA's long-standing guitar professionals. For many years he has been both a performer on the local circuit, and a tutor at the Elder Conservatorium of music. Mike has the very rare ability to learn and explore with an academic mind, while expressing depth of musicality and soul in his playing. Recently Mike was awarded funds to further his studies of jazz improvisation and Brazilian guitar in New York, Boston, and Brazil.

 

Antero-Harp-BW150web.jpg

Gerry Masi

Gerry Masi has made a reputation in Australia and beyond. Recently returning from performances in the US, this fabulous vocalist owns every song he sings. He delivers with a showmanship that keeps audiences returning time and time again to see the many acts he fronts. Gerry Masi is a consummate performer and professional. His most known acts include Lucifer’s Lounge, and Devils Cabaret.

 

Antero-Harp-BW150web.jpg

Jazzin’ Around

Jazzin' Around is Don Brow on Clarinet, Flute, Saxes, vocals & Blues Harp with John Radcliffe on amplified and acoustic Guitar and Vocals. The duo has been performing at various clubs, and events for around two years. Their sound includes laid back vibes, as well as  kicking on for dancing. Their styles cover ballads to Beatles, Latin, Swing, Standards and Blues.

 

Antero-Harp-BW150web.jpg

Derek Dalton

One of Australia’s finest jazz players, Derek has been thrilling audiences around Australia and the UK with his superb skills and fine melodic solos since the age of 11. Derek's musical mastery includes trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn, clarinet, french horn, euphonium, tuba, and vocals . See more of Derek

 

Antero-Harp-BW150web.jpg

Dominic Guida

Dominic has been performing professionally for over 20 years both nationally and internationally. He has recently returned from a 10 week stint (27 shows) in Italy. This soulful singer has supported many artists including; Suzi Quatro, Wendy Mathews, Neil Sedaka, Swanee, Ian Moss, and Daryl Braithwaite - just to name a few.

 

Gabriel Chammah - Saxophone

Gabriel Chammah

Gabriel is one of the most sought after Saxophonists in South Australia. He is recognised for his mesmerizing feel on saxophone. Gabriel & Richie have done a great many shows together over a number of years, from duo to 6 piece band. Known as “Gabs”, his cool but nice-guy vibe befits his playing style, and endears his audience wherever he performs.

 

  

David Burvill-Holmes Saxophone

David Burvill-Holmes

David is a vocalist / multi-instrumentalist that can add a variety of flavours to an evening’s entertainment. Lead flutist with the South Australian Police Band since the 1980’s, this light–hearted player has been a full-time performer for around 20 years. David takes on tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, and vocals with equal ease and professionalism.

 

Sharon Vicars - Flute

Sharon Vicars

A dedicated flutist, Sharon takes on the jazz repertoire with passion and verve. Her forte is Latin rhythms, and her sound works equally well as a duo with Richie, or letting loose in Richie’s Groove based Nitro Jazz Ensemble. Sharon has done numerous shows with Richie including the International Rugby Sevens event in Adelaide.

 

 

Catherine Lambert - Vocals

Catherine Lambert

Catherine is easily one of the finest singers of her genre in the world. Suited to floorshows, she commands attention, and is a consummate entertainer and performer.
