FRIDAY 21 MARCH PROGRAM: JESSIE GORDON - 'AN EVENING IN PARIS' 6pm – 8.30pm
Jessie Gordon is bringing the sound of Paris to Perth. This dazzling show will take you on a journey to discovering the music, the heart and soul of Paris. With songs from Edith Piaf, Django Reinhardt, Sidney Bechet and many more who lived and loved in Paris in the early 20th Century, this chanteuse will charm and enthral you, just like the city herself.
Jessie is a very sun-shy red-headed jazz singer from Perth who enjoys swing music, dancing in her kitchen to Otis Redding, eating cheese at any given opportunity and singing in the shower and every other (shaded) venue. Her main musical passions are jazz, blues and roots music. She started singing professionally at the age of 15 and has fronted big bands, jazz duos and every sized band in between.
Jessie has toured Australia, America, Southeast Asia, Germany, France, Spain, Poland and the UK. She is also a 20 time Fringe World Music and Cabaret Award winner and has also recorded nine albums with various collaborating musicians between 2017 and 2021.
