Adrift Jazz /Reggae Album Premiere in Perth Australia

ELLINGTON SWEET 16 FESTIVAL: SIXTEEN YEARS OF SWEET JAZZ
20th February – 2nd March 2025

From the creator of Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World, which enjoyed a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024, comes an extraordinary musical experience. Duane Forrest is proud to present the world premiere of his highly anticipated new album, Adrift, at the Ellington Jazz Club in Perth, Australia.

Adrift weaves together the sounds of jazz, reggae, and samba, crafting a beautiful and unique soundscape that takes listeners on a journey—adrift on life’s ocean. The album delves into the themes of being lost and found, asking: Are we ever truly lost, or are we exactly where we’re meant to be?

The evening will open with Ciara Lea, whose exceptional music has been making waves on both UK and US charts, setting the perfect tone for a night of soul-stirring performances.

Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of live music as Duane Forrest shares his soulful voice, heartfelt lyrics, and global influences in Perth’s premier music venue.

Join us for an evening that promises to inspire and move you.
