What connects a battered Renault, teenage adventures in Detroit and The Tea Party’s Transmission? David Bowie.
Jeff Martin catches up with Mary Boukouvalas from What’s My Scene ahead of the Celebrating DAVID BOWIE Australian tour, joining Kav Temperley and iOTA for a celebration of the Starman’s extraordinary music.
From blasting “Panic in Detroit” with his bandmates to discovering the sounds that helped shape Transmission, Martin shares how Bowie’s influence became part of his own musical journey. He also reveals how his distinctive baritone and alternate guitar tunings will enter Bowie’s world—while keeping his song choices firmly under wraps.
Expect stories, laughter, news of forthcoming Tea Party music and a celebration Martin describes as “a very complex Moroccan tagine”.
Touring Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne this November.
