Human Nature
Given their voices have lifted them to the heights of international stardom, it’s no surprise the members of Human Nature gather and sing carols to mark Christmas.
“Singing carols and Christmas songs is something we have done as a family and as a group for as long as I can remember,” Andrew Tierney says. “The songs always help Christmas start early and I honestly never get sick of them – even the cheesy ones.”
Phil Burton agrees the magical time of year is “all about the music. Pretty much from the start of December until Christmas day we have music playing in the house – it makes everyone feel the spirit right from the moment they wake up. Is there anything more enjoyable than cooking a good breakfast and singing along to Frank Sinatra’s Let It Snow? I don’t think so!”
Food is also an important Yuletide ritual for the group, currently based in
Las Vegas. Phil says it doesn’t really feel like Christmas without a good heap of fresh seafood on the table. Unfortunately, this traditional Aussie Christmas fare is hard to come by in the desert in winter.
“We still make sure to go and get some prawns to sit alongside the hot food. It gives us just a little taste of home,” he says. Human Nature return to Australia to play one A Day on the Green holiday show in Victoria’s Yarra Valley on December 16.
