Kristin Berardi and Sam Anning
Both Berardi and Anning are recipients of the The National Jazz Award among other accolades and have joined forces to bring a stunning collection of their own song-writings together in the spare setting of voice and upright bass.
Kristin Berardi and Sam Anning first started performing in this setting in 2017 after discovering one another’s
deep affinity for songwriting and exploring the diverse undergrowth of life’s myriad complexities, uniquely
afforded by entangling poetry and music.
In the duo format they are able to entwine their improvisational virtuosity with an expression more akin to
folk music, attempting to blur the lines between stereotypical genres. The songs express many colours of the
human condition with a recurring theme that reminds us to be kind to nature and that we have so much to
learn from the land and indigenous cultures.

Cannonball
Melbourne based sextet ‘Cannonball’ presents its take on the timeless works of jazz/groove/soul master Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley.
Fronted by special guest Kristin Berardi, and featuring some of Australia’s finest jazz musicians, Cannonball will captivate you with its blend of soulful classics, infused with jazz, blues & gospel, and cemented in a deep, infectious groove.
The group has performed at the ‘Bell’ Awards (Australian Jazz Awards), Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Taichung Jazz Festival (Taiwan), Wangaratta Jazz Festival, White Night Festival, Stonnington Jazz and the Devonport Jazz Festival amongst others, and has released an album “Cannonball Live”.
