A Night of Blues with Jonno Zilber @ The Baby Grand
A professional Blues musician since the age of sixteen years, Zilber has played all around Australia and internationally and released four solo albums. From school yards to prison yards, outback pubs with topless dancers to churches with born-again preachers, run down bars with no electricity to large international festivals, he's played them all.
With a sound originally inspired by blues masters Muddy Waters and B.B.King and heavily influenced by modern blues artists including Tom Waits and Keb Mo, Zilber has become a well sought after act in the Australian swing and blues dancing scene. His lastest album, "Winter Blues: Live", was inspired by, and recorded for, the late night blues after parties held at swing dancing events all over the world.
Joining Zilber on drums is the talented blues, jazz, folk and world music drummer, Nicola Ossher. Nicola has been gracing stages around Australia for over 15 years playing with the likes of Brian Campeau, Emma Deans, Joanna Weinberg, Keppie Coutts, Alphamama and The God Queen Collective, Emma Davis, Frazer Goodman, Ben Amor and Miriam Lieberman.
There'll be 2 sets of music at 8:00-8:45pm and 9:15-10:00pm.
Ticket price - $10. Tickets available at the door.

Keppie Coutts' presents 'The Mysteries of Mad River' at The 2017 Sydney Fringe Festival
Award-winning songwriter Keppie Coutts presents ‘The Mysteries of Mad River: A Swamp-Folk Operetta’, an eccentric, Freudian, and sparkling piece of musical theatre, that is one-part cabaret, one-part murder mystery. ‘The Mysteries of Mad River’ is strung around the character of a lovable (but deranged) primary school teacher, singing her way through a town cursed with disappearing children.
Coutts breaks the barriers of conventional songwriter performance, by stepping fully into the dark and riotous world of the characters she has created. The swampy, honky-tonk, blues-folk narratives call on a musical ancestry that includes Nick Cave, Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen.
Having won the praise of peers and fans in the US (including having a song produced by John Mayer), Coutts has joined forces with Anna Jahjah of Theatre Excentrique to bring the stories and characters to life (and death), in this dark comedy debuting at the Sydney Fringe Festival.
Coutts will be accompanied by the following band of talented musicians:
Gavin Ahearn - keys
Nicola Ossher - drums/percussion
Nick McLean - double bass
Benny Romalis - guitar
Emma Champion - cello
“Coutts's songs marry soul and folk so gorgeously, you'll cheer when they get stuck on endless repeat on the jukebox in your brain.” - The Boston Globe
Tickets are on sale NOW! from: sydneyfringe.com (simply search Keppie or Mad River) There are FOUR shows to choose from so no excuse to miss this great show! Show times/dates below:
Saturday Sept 23 9pm & Sunday Sept 24 8pm @ Camelot Lounge
