SOMESH PUTCHA 'Ever Playful' Album tour
w/ Alistair Johnston
FRIDAY 25th JULY - 6PM
Live at The Servo, Port Kembla.


Somesh Putcha is touring is touring his debut album “Ever Playful” composed for the ABC Jazz for the ABC Classic and Jazz Composer Commission 2024. It’s about the ways in which he’s grown up straddling the line between his Telugu and Australian background, and how that continues to shape him and help him grow. The album draws from the storytelling of his father’s Hindu background an idea from the myth of Amrutamu that to experience positive growth and wisdom requires one to experience equal strife and hardship. Each song is linked to a lesson and the hardships that taught it.

He’ll be joined by Alistair Johnston (back from playing in New York for a bit) and his band, playing some incredible music. Come along for a night of music that’s deeply personal and a lot of fun!

Somesh is a drummer and a musical omnivore. He has created a fearless, curious and uplifting sound. Musically he has been inspired by the adventurous and spiritual nature of artists such as John Coltrane, Mark Guiliana, and his mentor Colin Stranahan. He draws from further afield listening to artists like Kendrick Lamar, Noname, and David Bowie. He strives to continue the work of these luminaries and create personal and transformative music.

He'll be joined by his incredible and inimitable band featuring Bernice Tesara (trumpet), Michael J Brady (Guitar), and Oscar Peterson (Bass).
