Tunes on the night will come from Melbourne Ska Orchestra and Blue King Brown frontwoman Nattali Rize.
It has been full steam ahead since Melbourne Ska Orchestra dropped their self-titled debut album back in 2013. Since then, the band have played sell-out national shows and multiple major festivals, and completed three huge international tours that took in Glastonbury, Montreal Jazz Festival, Sierra Nevada, club shows in LA and New York, and a sell-out show in London. Now they’re preparing to release their next album in March.
Nattali Rize will be back on our shores for this special performance. After spending most of 2014 living, writing and recording, in Jamaica, this year has seen Nattali Rize explore new territory, including a collaborative project with Jamaican production crew Notis. The six-piece, all-Jamaican band fronted by Nattali burst onto the US scene over summer 2015 with a hugely successful run including major festival performances and a national run of shows with Michael Franti & Spearhead.
Taking things well into New Year’s Day will be reggae and dancehall producer Jake Savona AKA Mista Savona.
