About this concert
Join Champagne Jacket in celebrating the release of “Temporary” - a big song about a little pebble. But don’t let the pebble hear you say that. This pebble has seen the beginning of the universe and will outlive your entire species…
Tickets on the door will be 50% more so do buy online in advance!
This long time crowd favourite is finally making it out into the Spotiverse (other platforms are available). Temporary is long form psychedelic blues poetry, woven together with three part harmonies, edgy guitars and ethereal synths, as Champagne Jacket charts a beach pebble’s story from the universe’s beginnings.
Champagne Jacket will be joined by the charismatic Tom & the Cartoonists and the unashamedly epic Clodagh & The Monologue.
Considered renaming the band Champagne and the Jacquettes. Thoughts?
And Ringo Barr - what a venue. Good sound, good beer, good vibes.

Champagne Jacket Biography
A light heart, a deep soul and a big sound. Champagne Jacket is the moniker of UK born singer/songwriter and composer Jack Lewis, based in Naarm/Melbourne.
His songs reframe life from other perspectives: the arrested teenager, the “other” woman; and even the ancient, cynical pebble, in a hunt for understanding and connection.
After releasing acoustic folk epic “My Island” in 2016, Jack travelled from the UK to Australia without taking a single flight, though it took him 11 months! He settled into a mixed clown and musician community, producing the original score for award winning comedy series “Meet the Mullets” (The Travelling Sisters), “The Wholesome Hour” and “Drag Story Time” (POPOMOCO). In 2021 Jack relaunched as Champagne Jacket with the release of modern blues classic “Walls of China”, followed by angsty soul-rocker “Tell Me” in 2022.
In 2023 Champagne Jacket produced the music for chart-topping and multi-award winning queer comedy sci-fi podcast “Starship Q Star'', while recording a new EP with producer Alex O’Gorman (Angie McMahon, Julia Jacklin). The first single “Sarah”, due October 2023, repaints serotonin as “the one that got away” in an upbeat pop funk love song devoted to that most coveted of neurotransmitters. Champagne Jacket gigs as a 5 piece, ranging from delicate acoustic whispers to powerful crescendos thick with heavy guitar and three part harmony, interspersed by Jack’s frankly unpredictable stage banter.
On his motivation, Jack says: “I write songs from a wandering life, as a diving instructor, city slicker, volunteer police officer, ocean sailor, pseudo-foreigner, and estranged friend, son and brother. I’m fascinated at how the truth changes when you change your perspective and songwriting turns out to be the perfect playground for this”.
Champagne Jacket drips with wit and imagery, warming you with catchy tunes and a bit of class & sparkle.
