Dynamic act set to rock tavern
The Black Sorrows will come to the Highfields Tavern with a spontaneous and emotionally-driven live act to appeal to all fans
THE Black Sorrows have earned a reputation as a dynamic live act.
There is a level of accessibility to The Black Sorrows that can appeal to the newest of fans.
At the helm, Joe Camilleri steers the band through an energetic interplay of solid grooves and well-crafted songs that mix those well-worn ingredients of blues, soul, R and B, gospel, country and even Brill Building pop.
Spontaneous (forget set lists) and emotionally-driven, Joe ensures that no two performances are ever the same.
Camilleri’s mantra is simple: “We come to play and leave the audience feeling exhilarated”.
Writer of milestone Australian songs such as So Young, Hit And Run, Shape I’m In,
Hold On To Me, Harley and Rose, Chained To The Wheel, Never Let Me Go and The Chosen Ones, Joe Camilleri’s music has become part of Australian music culture.
As a member of Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, Joe was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007.
Camilleri has shown fans and critics alike that he is a performer with an undeniable energy and love of it all.
The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most enduring touring bands and a festival favourite.
Membership in The Black Sorrows has always been loose and fluid with Camilleri being the only constant.
In keeping with Joe’s desire to continually move forward, the latest incarnation of The Black Sorrows is Claude Carranza (guitar/vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), John McAll (keyboards/vocals) and Angus Burchall (drums). You can catch this amazing band at the Highfields Tavern on Friday, June 22.
