About this concert
Since his 2010 breakthrough hit “I Need a Dollar”, Aloe Blacc has been charming audiences worldwide with his feel-good anthems. His trademark fusion of soul, folk, rap and pop might sound like an odd combination, but the moment you hear him sing the first note, his history as a kid raised on hip hop who went on to discover soul artists and folk singers crystallises and the mixture makes perfect sense. The first taste of the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter’s new record is “Brooklyn in the Summer”, an ode to his passionate real-life romance that conjures images of brows slick with sweat, bobbing along to the radio.
Before Aloe Blacc takes the stage, find a good seat on the lawn for Kaiit – but trust you won’t do much sitting once she starts singing. Her addictive stage presence and syrupy sound betray her young age and call to mind artists like Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill – who also happen to be her musical idols.
All proceeds help Zoos Victoria fight to save the Eastern Barred Bandicoot from extinction.

Even with pouring rain for the last two songs it could not have been better. His infectious style and humanity shine through. Loved every minute of every song.

Aloe Blacc Biography
Raised by Panamanian immigrants in Southern California, Blacc grew up around the sounds of salsa, merengue, & cumbia. He initially developed his own taste by throwing himself into hip-hop before trying out his soulful voice to other ends. Across three albums, his sound evolved and grew, finding a pocket that reflects the long and beautiful history of American soul with timeless, descriptive songwriting that speaks to the broad range of human experience, from platonic love to love for humanity, from politics to aspiration.
“Rather than a genre, my music follows a theme I call A.I.M.: affirmation, inspiration, and motivation,” he explains. Beloved hits like “I Need a Dollar,” “The Man,” and “Wake Me Up,” with Avicii, may not fall under the same musical umbrella, but they’re united by how they make the listener feel. That’s Blacc’s wheelhouse, the place where he excels. “After so many opportunities to talk about my music and not feel comfortable saying, ‘I’m a pop artist’ or ‘I’m a folk artist,’ I had this realization. My songwriting genre is thematic.”
