‘Ashes to Ashes’ – Bowie tribute show
GROUND control to Major Tom: a stellar tribute to rock and roll’s quirkiest man is dangerously close when ‘Ashes to Ashes – David Bowie Experience’ lands at CPAC this November to take you to outer space with a two-hour David Bowie extravaganza.
Fans of Ziggy Stardust and his groundbreaking take on rock and roll will not want to miss Australia’s most renowned David Bowie tribute going through every decade in the extensive 27 studio album career at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre on November 1.
Frontman Paul Matthews said this was a show for all music lovers.
“Ashes to Ashes is a David Bowie tribute show paying homage to the one and only David Bowie whose career spanned five decades and they’ll be blessed listening to all of his wonderful hits and reminisce on those years,” he said.
“I don’t try to portray David Bowie himself but our love for his music, and as it is for anybody that loves his music, that love shines through, and it makes for a magnificent night.
“The enjoyment that we get performing his music rubs off on the people in the audience because they reminisce on the times they’ve seen him live or the times they played him on the turntable or when they heard his songs on the radio. It’s just a nostalgic night.”
Ashes To Ashes performs all of Bowie's illustrious hits, including 'Heroes,' 'Let's Dance,' 'Rebel Rebel,' 'Space Oddity,' 'Ziggy Stardust,' 'Life On Mars,' 'Young Americans,' 'Modern Love,' and more.
“We’ve got some amazing musicians on stage, we try to cover the range of musicians that Bowie himself worked with throughout the years, so we have Marco Giardini on keys, Guy Hunt on guitar, Dan Irizarry on bass, Mark Hudson on saxophone and Matt Carter on drums,” Mr Matthews said.
“We also have a lot of visuals on stage that reflect the memories from Bowie’s career. We also dress up in regalia to dress the show up, but our emphasis is on the music and capturing it the best way possible."
