Description du concert
Sell-out shows, standing ovations, outstanding reviews
“The musicianship, unity and heart of the Vagabond Crew supporting Schumann’s showmanship and storytelling made for a magic show.”
(The Pineapple)
John Schumann – singer-songwriter and the unmistakable voice of the legendary Australian folk-rock band Redgum - takes to the stage with his international class, 6-piece band, the Vagabond Crew.
“Initially I wasn’t really keen but it was the Vagabond Crew who persuaded me to revisit the Redgum repertoire. It was their idea to call it “The Redgum Years”, to play 20 or so of Redgum’s most popular and enduring songs and, importantly, to tell the stories.”
“We put up a couple of social media posts and the demand was pretty well instantaneous. Lots of people - I mean, lots and lots of people - flew in from interstate for those first Adelaide shows back in 2021. I guess I didn’t appreciate just how much those songs still mean to hundreds of thousands of Australians.”
“For me, playing these songs is like getting back in touch with much-loved, much-missed family members after decades apart.”
What the patrons are saying
“Amazing. I was mesmerised.”
“We had a great night. Love John Schumann’s stories!”
“The gig was bloody sensational.”
“Could have listened for another couple of hours.”
“Fantastic and brilliant. Wonderful gig - brilliant musicians performing at their best.”
“The Redgum Years. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I mean, ever!”
“We laughed our heads off and we sang our hearts out.
“A show where the audience is hanging off every word - and you feel like you are part of something special.” (The Pineapple)
