George Benson Returns To Australia and New Zealand

By Tim Cashmere
Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:39:02 +1000

George Benson, a true icon of the jazz guitar, will return to Australia and New Zealand for a run of shows including a three-night-stand at the Sydney Opera House.

Benson's chops are probably best known from his pop hits including 'On Broadway', 'Breezin' and 'Give Me The Night', but he isn't all about smooth pop jazz. His sound gets deeper and darker with tracks like 'El Barrio' and will leave you wondering how his fingers can move like they do in the traditional Irish tune 'Danny Boy'.

Check out Benson at one of the following gigs:

NOVEMBER
6 - Kings Park, Perth, WA, Australia
8 - Adelaide Entertainment Centre Theatre, Adelaide, SA, Australia
9 - Regent Theatre, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
11 - Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia
12 - Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia
13 - Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia
16 - CBS Canterbury Arena, Christchurch, NZ
18 - TSB Bank Arena, Wellington, NZ
19 - Vector Arena, Auckland, NZ
