Whether he's telling the story or people are telling a story about him, life's always interesting if you're Russell Crowe. In August 2024, he's playing music and bringing his Indoor Garden Party back to the United States for the first time since 2012. An Indoor Garden Party is, he says, an event, a band, a happening. Its fluid. The personnel changes, but its always big. Its like a festival where I gather people I admire, musicians and storytellers, and we put on a show. The concept started in 2009 in a pub outside London owned by the chat show legend Michael Parkinson, and it has kept going in a haphazard, ad-lib way ever since. With this configuration, Crowe brings to the foreground The Gentlemen Barbers, whom he has been quietly tinkering with for the last four years. There's an attitude about this band. Its got a groove. We do a lot of story songs, but we also know we are here to blow out the cobwebs and give the audience a good night, Russell adds. Grabbing time between the shoots of films like Unhinged, Thor: Love Thunder, The Greatest Beer Run, and his latest movie release, The Popes Exorcist, the band has been gathering, sometimes for weeks at a time, just playing, recording, talking, gelling. The relationships within the band go back 30 years. Dave Kelly (drums) and Stewart Kirwan (trumpet) were members of Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts. They also played with Crowe in The Ordinary Fear of God, which included Stu Hunter (piano) and, in its touring form, Chris Kamzela's (guitar). James Hazelwood (bass) has fit right in and shares friendships within the band that go back decades. Get ready for a night of music and stories as Russell Crowe brings his Indoor Garden Party to the U.S. this summer!
