ADELAIDE'S INTIMATE CONCERT VENUE
Thursday 15 May 7.30pm
“ Like a fine wine, she’s becoming even more compelling as time goes on.” (Sounds of Oz, 2022)
Shooting to fame at the age of 19 with a viral audition video that now has over 50 million views on YouTube, Karise Eden has arguably one of Australia’s most distinctive voices, with two ARIA Awards, gold and platinum records and multiple Top 5 positions in the ARIA and AIR charts.
Often compared with the likes of Adele and Amy Winehouse, the formidable singer-songwriter’s first indie release in 2022, “Into The Black” also featured an AIR No. 1 single.
Karise’s solo shows see her armed with her guitar and a songbook of her own originals plus her own twist on some classics that have influenced her musical journey throughout her career.
From blues to soul, rock to power pop, country to Americana, this girl can tackle any genre with authenticity, because to put it simply, she’s got the music in her!

Tenzin Choegyal - Whispering Sky
As the son of Tibetan nomads, Tenzin Choegyal feels a particular connection to the music of the high Himalayan plateau. Tenzin Choegyal, Tibetan-Australian artist, composer and Grammy-nominee, channels the wisdom and traditions of his nomadic ancestors in his extraordinary vocal performances and mastery of the lingbu (bamboo flute) and dranyen (3-stringed lute). Forced into exile with his family, he now resides in Australia, continuing to explore new musical horizons while remaining true to his nomadic lineage. Tenzin’s soaring vocals and sublime flute solos have thrilled audiences around the globe. His unique style embraces meditative mantras, joyful folk tunes and spoken word, infused with the essence of Tibetan wisdom and a sound as expansive as the Himalayas. Tenzin takes audiences on a musical journey, transcends cultural boundaries and brings traditional Tibetan sounds into a very contemporary setting.
Tenzin sees music as a universal form of communication without boundaries, “like drifting clouds that fly freely over the man-made geographical borders in this infinite space of possibilities”. For Tenzin music is life, no matter where he is. “My music has evolved through my own journey from Tibet to India to Australia and around the world. But wherever I am in the world, my music also connects me to my homeland of Tibet.” His obvious joyfulness is infectious and his message is uplifting. ​​​​​
