COMING TO WORKSHOP JUNE 17TH: AMELIA EVANS RADIOHEAD PROJECT
English rock band Radiohead rose to fame in the ‘90s and became one of the most exciting and experimental outfits of their generation. Now a new era of musicians is turning to the group’s iconic back catalogue and finding ways to reinvent the music as their own. Led by jazz vocalist Amelia Evans, Melbourne ensemble The Radiohead Project transforms the music for jazz quartet. Inspired by Radiohead’s radically deconstructed approach to composition and performance, the band explores Radiohead’s affinity for jazz, performing works from well-known records such as OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac. For fans, this promises to be a dreamy, intimate take on imaginative works you have long admired
