The Art House is set to welcome the royal family of the soul, jazz and blues genres as Lisa Simone, the daughter of Dr Nina Simone, performs a special tribute to her mother’s musical legacy in May.
Lisa and her incredible band will reprise the iconic classics of Nina Simone including I Put a Spell on You, Feelin’ Good, Black Is the Colour, and Mississippi Goddam from her esteemed four-decade long career.
Nowhere else will you see such a celebrated and respected performer of this calibre in the intimate setting of a 500-seat theatre. Lisa Simone premiered the Disney roles of Aida (Aida) and Nala (The Lion King), was a member of the original Broadway case of Rent and topped the jazz charts in 2008 with her big band tribute album to her mother.
Lisa is the latest in a string of award-winning contemporary musicians to hit The Art House stage, following Macy Gray, Eskimo Joe, Amy Shark, Kate Ceberano, and more big names to be announced soon.
It’s rare to see artists of this level in such a setting outside the major capital cities (and without the price tag!), so audiences on the Central Coast are in for a treat.
