Straight from the source, Fotis Vergopoulos (Greece) is coming to Sydney for the final appearance on his east coast tour. Leading this all-star line-up of local and inter-state musicians, Fotis represents the next generation of talent from Greece and his musicianship and feel for rebetika (Greek Blues) is inimitable.

Fotis was initiated into the world of music at the age of 6 by his father, Nikos, an inaugural member of the Apodimi Kompania. He has toured Europe extensively as well as Africa, Australia and New Zealand. He currently lives in Athens where he has performed with many notable artists including Agathonas Iakovidis, Martha Fritzila, Babis Gkoles and Manolis Pappos to name a few.

Joining Fotis on stage are special guests and stalwarts of the Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne rebetika scene:

Fotis Vergopoulos - bouzouki & vocals

Con Kalamaras – guitar & vocals

Themelis Samarkos – bouzouki & vocals

Kon Velanis – bouzouki & baglama

A contemporary take on the rebetiko sound with original compositions by Stav Thomopoulos and Con Kalamaras, this outfit is a unique exponent of Greek music from the diaspora that is even gaining traction in Greece! We are thrilled to have them perform in Sydney!
