Upcoming Shows
Sassone Cucina Italiana
Melbourne Resendency
For the past few months, I’ve been performing at Sassone Restaurant every Sunday afternoon, turning quiet sessions into lively gatherings with 50 to 70 regulars each week. It’s a beautiful setting just outside the city, where the music fits the mood—easy going when people want to sit back, chat, and enjoy a drink, but ready to lift the energy when it’s time to dance.
That’s what I love about music: it’s about the moment. Whether it’s a laid-back afternoon or a spontaneous celebration, the right song makes everyone forget about life for a while and just enjoy the experience.
Come by and be part of it!
