Stranger Cole is, simply put, a giant of Reggae.  He is one of the most important living links to the birth of the Jamaican sound with a career full of hits spanning all eras beginning with the proto-Ska “Rough and Tough” for Duke Reid in 1962.  His mid-sixties rocksteady duets with Patsy Todd and Gladdy Anderson, respectively, are considered to be a high point of the genre.  In 1968, Stranger Cole’s “Bangarang” with its choppy keyboard and one-drop drumming marked the beginning of a new sound, Reggae.   

Stranger Cole’s voice is distinctive, but his live performances are equally famous. Irrepressibly happy with boundless energy belying his 84 years on the planet, he connects with the audience like very few can.

By popular demand, Stranger Cole returns to Australia to perform the ska, rocksteady and reggae songs that have made him a living legend...  

As he says; “MORE LIFE!”
