We are delighted to feature outstanding and versatile vocalist, REBECCA BARNARD on Thursday, AUGUST 22, with maestro MIRKO GUERRINI on saxophone, and ERIC BUDD on trombone, Upstairs at the welcoming Water Rat Hotel. This week the Band is always celebrating 15 YEARS of JMQ'S THURSDAY JAZZ IN MELBOURNE
The name 'Barnard' is well-known in the Australian Music & Jazz scene, as Rebecca's father Len was a jazz drummer, and uncle, Bob a highly regarded jazz trumpet stylist. She grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music and exposed to the best.
While Rebecca is best know for her stunning versatility as a songwriter and singer, she also went back to her Jazz roots with her show. 'Songs My Father Taught Me' and it is those great jazz standards that were a soundtrack to her youth....
