This was a perfect match; Australian pop diva, Katie Noonan, covering one of the all time classic rock albums, Jeff Buckley’s album GRACE. The concert is taking place to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album’s release.
Backed by a crack five piece band Katie sang her way through the album, with her voice rising to every challenge.My highlights were mesmerising renditions of Leonard Cohen’s classic Hallelujah and the jazz standard Lilac Wine.
Sydney Theatre Company’s home theatre, the Wharf 1 Theatre, set up as a svelte cabaret space, was a great venue for the concert, and featured impressive lighting and sound designs.
Katie and her band are only giving three more performances, each night at 6pm.
