What?
Marking 20 years since his debut, Eli Paperboy Reed returns to Australia with his soul-drenched live show.
Known for his sweaty, searing performances Reed is a trailblazer in soulful music, with nine acclaimed albums to his name, and having produced a recent Grammy® nominated album for the Harlem Gospel Travelers.
With raw authenticity and powerful vocals, Reed is set to electrify audiences with a vibrant, soul-stirring celebration that pushes gospel and soul into bold, exciting territory.
Reed celebrates his milestone with a vibrant new show, blending tradition with fresh, innovative energy. Two decades after busking in Harvard Square and honing his craft, the trailblazing soul man continues to write, sing, and perform on his own terms, delivering soul-stirring performances that connect deeply with audiences.
Don’t miss this electrifying celebration that redefines the boundaries of gospel and soul.
Also joining the lineup are The Meltdown, Melbourne’s purveyors of southern soul from the Great Southern Land, featuring rich instrumentation with a blend of Stax and Motown vibes.
We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and recognise that the land and sovereignty has never been ceded.
