Roscoe James Irwin’s Soul-jazz Special

Irwin’s fingerprints can be found across an
extraordinary array of projects, from collaborations with Paul Kelly, Passenger, The Cat Empire, Kate Ceberano, Kutcha Edwards, and Angus & Julia Stone, to performances
alongside international icons such as Brian May and Roger Taylor (Queen), Suzi Quatro, Harry Connick Jr, and Stax legend Eddie Floyd.

As a solo artist and composer, Irwin has carved a reputation for creating lush, cinematic worlds of sound — weaving jazz, soul and orchestral textures with heartfelt storytelling. His solo projects, as well as his work with the nation’s top symphony orchestras and contemporary artists showcase a rare artistic depth, blending melancholy and euphoria in equal measure.

For his first ever solo performance at The Count’s, Irwin will sing and play trumpet, joined by an all-star lineup of Melbourne’s best. Together they’ll explore Irwin’s interpretations of his favourite Soul, Gospel, New Orleans Jazz and early Rhythm & Blues works — a fun, immersive night of masterful musicianship from one of Australia’s true musical polymaths.

“One of Australia’s best contemporary performers’ – The Clothesline

“Clearly one of Australia’s most talented writers and multi-instrumentalists.” – The Ripe / TV
