The Others

Musical icons Paul Grabowsky, James Morrison, Kram, and William Barton unite in this rare collaboration.

Do you know what happens when a First Nations vocalist and yidaki player, a rock drummer, a world-renowned multi-instrumentalist, and a polymath pianist/composer walk onto a stage?

Neither do they.

Defying categorisation, experience an unforgettable musical evening as pianist Paul Grabowsky, legendary trumpeter James Morrison, First Nations artist William Barton, and Spiderbait's iconic drummer Kram unite for a completely improvised performance. Masters of their chosen craft, the unlikely quartet share a curiosity that opens them up to the challenges and joys of discovery. While their individual journeys began in differing musical worlds, their paths intersect at one vital point – spontaneous composition.

With no two shows ever being the same, it is this combination of disparate influences that creates the perfect storm on stage. It ebbs and flows. It can be heartachingly melodic. Yet, somehow, it makes sense. They love coming together in this most curious of projects, and the joy is palpable.
