Ross Wilson Trio @ The Cornish Arms
Ross Wilson is headed your way with a totally new acoustic performance with the Ross Wilson Trio, featuring his ex-Mondo Rock collaborator Eric McCusker on guitar and vocals, Chris Paraha on bass and vocals and Elvis Aljus on percussion !
The Ross Wilson Trio will be performing at a very special dinner show at The Cornish Arms, 163A Sydney Road in Brunswick . A three course meal will be served from 6PM and the performance starts at 9PM. Dinner tickets are available at $60 and standing room tickets are $25 from the Cornish Arms on 9380 8383.
Ross says “It’s really a special show, because there’s much more emphasis on vocal harmonies within the trio. We¹ve actually reinvented the songs and it’s great to sing them in a new way-they feel brand new to us! The performances that we do are intimate, close to the audience and it feels terrific to make that almost one-on-one connection. It’s also a lot of fun working with Eric and Chris. We’ve worked together so much over the years that we¹ve evolved into this very tight blend that is quite unique.”
As a performer, Ross has constructed a show that is an absolute feast for the ears and features all of his greatest hits and his new classics in the making. His earliest songs sound as fresh as those he wrote last week and he never fails to entertain and charm his audiences with a slightly warped sense of humour (much of it at his own expense!) and his musical expertise, timeless voice and constant reinvention.
In a career that spans 40 years Ross remains one of this country’s most respected artists. Ross has chased his musical muse wherever it has taken him and along the way he has entertained legions of fans from every generation.
From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo artist, and as a songwriter of almost mythic proportion, Ross is responsible for penning songs that have etched themselves permanently into the Australian landscape and psyche, such as Eagle Rock, Come Back Again, Cool World and A Touch of Paradise. As a producer, he has given the world the legendary Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep and more recently, The Screaming Jets. An honorary Wiggle aka King Mondo, Ross has also endeared himself to a whole new generation of kids who will be amazed one day to find his vinyl records and CDs in their parents’ music collections, too.
