DOUBLE CONCERT: Dan Tuffy & Madelief van Vlijmen, Jimmy Dowling

Dan Tuffy is an Australian who has been living in the Netherlands since 1994 where he works as a producer. He came to Jeffs place back in 2018 and utterly blew us away with his storytelling and performance skills. Although involved in dozens of productions in his life it wasn't until 2017 that he released his debut solo album “SONGS FROM DAN” which was hailed internationally as a “downright masterpiece”. His 2020 follow-up “LETTERS OF GOLD” generated yet more superlatives both here and abroad. Back in Australia for the 1st time in almost 5 years this is an exclusive one-off show. Dan will be presenting material from his past releases as well as his new album “COUNTRY STAR” (due out on June 2). On stage with him will be the extraordinarily talented bassist/backing vocalist Madelief van Vlijmen. With influences from the dustbowl to now, their show is a sonic masterpiece of story-telling and pulsing acoustic grooves.

Jimmy Dowling is a ballad singing song slinger, who has worked around the world on land and sea. A story teller, who writes with the keen eye of a poet and whose music could be the spawn of a sea shanty and a jazz standard.  Fond of the slower tempos and  waltzes, Jimmy Dowling blends the overtones of a jazz sensibility with simple structures, and possesses an uncommon lonely magic. He's known for a conciseness and depth of lyric, a healthy use of space in the instrumentation and a natural swing in the vocal delivery.

This is a GREAT double bill. You will not be disappointed!!
