The Mell-O-Tones are all set to swing Penrith with music from the golden age of Broadway and Hollywood, Latin-American cha-cha, rumba and mambo evergreens; and big band versions of the great songs associated with legends like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire.

The 15 piece big band, led by conductor and vocalist Phillip Sametz (a name ABC Classic FM listeners will recognise), is a fixture on the Sydney arts and entertainment scene, performing everywhere from glittering opening night parties, to the Opera House New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Archibald Prize Preview and in annual concert seasons at the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace in Cremorne. Their ABC Classics album Non-Stop Flight was nominated for an ARIA award for Best Jazz Album.

‘The last two years have made it clear just how special it is when audiences and artists are in the same space at the same time. The Mell-O-Tones can’t wait to play for you, making our debut at The Joan, in a program of life-giving music from the golden age of the big bands.’ – Phillip Sametz

The Mell-O-Tones will perform at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, 19 February at 2pm and 7:30pm.
