Jan Preston’s Boogie Circus

Jan Preston’s Boogie Circus is coming to town, and it’s a show that you definitely do not want to miss. The Cambridge Autumn Festival will be hosting ‘Australasia’s Queen of Boogie Piano’, along with Jan’s husband and swinging percussionist, Mike Pullman. This concert will promote Jan’s latest release Pianoland which celebrates her 50 years as a public performer with piano / keyboard in tow.

You will hear the irrepressible Preston on her longstanding and sometimes bumpy road to piano stardom. Jan will spin yarns from dives in Manhattan to the concert halls of Europe, from her early days in Wellington’s Red Mole Theatre Troupe to a pop hit with Auckland rock band Coup D’Etat, relocating to Sydney in the eighties, and her enduring 50 year career as a piano player, singer/songwriter and composer. This septuagenarian duo will perform her original songs and compositions, providing a perfect counterpoint to her story.

Note: Road access to the venue is now via 7 Arikirua Lane, Cambridge

Snacks and refreshments available for purchase.

Jan Preston’s Boogie Circus is part of the Cooney & Norris Ward McKinnon Concert Series.
