Craig’s road to Vegas

Harrison Craig will bring his extensive national tour to Horsham next month following the release of his third studio album, Kings of Vegas.

Craig will perform at Wesley Performing Arts Centre on July 7 from 8pm.

He launched his career as the winner of The Voice Australia in 2013.

Craig’s Kings Of Vegas album pays homage to the most important music in his life.

From Nat King Cole to Sinatra’s Rat Pack, Elvis Presley to Tom Jones, Mel Torme to Frankie Valli the album includes new interpretations of classics such as Almost Like Being In Love, She’s A Lady and Comin’ Home.

Craig said the project followed his lifelong passion to the spiritual home of some of the greatest performers ever to command a 90-piece band, Las Vegas.

“These guys created a style and turned it into a timeless genre,” he said.

“The way the songs were written, directed and orchestrated… nothing was done in a small way.

“I came back from Vegas extremely inspired. I knew exactly what kind of record I wanted to make.”

Horsham Town Hall marketing and box office co-ordinator Charee Smith said she expected Craig’s two-hour Kings of Vegas: Lounge Sessions show to be popular.

“It’s very exciting to see the next generation of musicians coming through, and this show will be a treat for those who love The Voice,” she said.

Ms Smith said fans would have an opportunity to hear Craig in an ‘intimate conversation’ as part of a special preshow event, Spotlight on Vegas.

“This is a fascinating insight into the creative process and a chance to meet Harrison Craig in person and share further in his experience of Las Vegas,” she said.

Tickets for the 30-minute Spotlight on Vegas show are limited to 25 and cost $50.

Tickets for the Kings of Vegas: Lounge Series performance range from $55 to $70.
