A night of cabaret is coming to Kyneton’s Bluestone Theatre in late April, and Thomas Currie can’t wait to be the performer bringing it there.
Mr Currie’s show, Basically Nocturnal, featured at the Melbourne Cabaret Festival in 2021 and before he returns to Melbourne for another season, he’ll be making a stop on April 29 in the Macedon Ranges.
“It’s a collection of stories and tales from the middle of the night, I put it together because I’m a bit of a night owl and that has always interested me,” he said.
Basically Nocturnal features two keyboards, a piano, drums and an electric cello, creating otherworldly sounds with looping effects, alongside Mr Currie’s transportational baritone voice.
“You can get the sound of a string quartet with only one instrument, and there’s a lot of skill and art that goes into that from the brilliant cellist that we’ve got on board,” Mr Currie said.
From well known songs by artists like The Carpenters and Billy Joel, to original tracks, Mr Currie, whose family is originally from Kyneton, said he can’t wait to take the music inside Bluestone Theatre.
“It’s such a beautiful venue, it’s bluestone, it’s stunning and it’s intimate, and that is what the show is,” Mr Currie said.
