Event description
SOLD OUT!
Ciara Louise Ferguson presents ethereal, folky jazz inspired by the beauty of the natural world: two sets of original music intertwined with unique arrangements of traditional Scottish songs. Ciara recently recorded River Walks, which has been featured on ABC Jazz’s ‘The Dinner Set’ with Monica Trapaga, who described it as “beautiful… a stunning album”. She also recorded with Soylent Green, with whom she performed at Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues in 2022; and the ABC Jazz Commission Where Emus Roam the Streets. She has been a pianist, backing vocalist, and/or vibraphonist for artists including Tina Arena, Lior, Paul Grabowsky, Thando and Wendy Matthews; and performed at WOMAdelaide 2024 as a backing vocalist for AURUS. Ciara graduated with First Class Honours in Jazz Performance (Piano) from the University of Adelaide in 2021, where she also won the 2019 Helpmann Academy Award for Top Piano Undergraduate.
Ciara is joined by Tasha Stevens on bass and Zed Crawford on drums.
