For one night only on their extensive South East NSW tour The Escalators will pull back the curtain on the library of jazz classics that inspires their music, honouring the great songwriters of the Swing Era (the Gershwins, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole et al).

Inspired by the unmatched acoustics of the domed performance space at The Priory, The Escalators have curated an ‘unplugged’ acoustic sound that is perfect for intimate spaces, right down to the use of an original 1930s archtop guitar, double-bass, and a modified drum kit true to the traditional sounds of the era.

The gorgeous tone of Jenny Blunden's voice embraces you & steals your heart. Lachlan Mackenzie’s guitar weaves with pick-pocket grace between a rhythmic framework rich in interplay between Bradley Parson's upright bass & the drum kit captained by Hayden Moore.

The second half of the show traces the arc that connects the golden era of jazz to the present day with a showcase of the band’s studio releases, blending their jazz roots with soul, reggae and the South Coast, to create a sound & style that has earned invitations to some of Australia’s most prestigious Jazz Festivals, including Noosa & Manly.
