Barb Jungr’s Christmas Caboots
with Sarah Travis on piano
Come on a journey through Christmas in its many baubles and tinsel-d wonderfulness with cabaret legend and Crazy Coqs darling Barb Jungr with seasonal favourites old and new. From the sacred to the profane, the holly to the ivy, the glorious to the potentially peculiar, Barb Jungr and Tony Award winning arranger/pianist Sarah Travis will take you on a festive musical sleigh ride like no other. Barb said “If Bob Dylan can happily sing Christmas songs then so can I!” So expect a Dylan-esque surprise or two, though she’s finding it a bit tougher finding any in Leonard Cohen’s songbook. But Joni Mitchell’s River will nestle alongside some originals and some absolute Christmas classics.
“On stage she’s a lioness” Sydney MorningHerald
“A true musical alchemist, she is truly a marvel who should not be missed.” The Telegraph
“One of the world’s great cabaret singers, a genuine original.” Time Out New York
“I’ve long thought Barb Jungr is one of our very finest cabaret singers.” Mark Shenton
Barb Bio
Barb is happy to present a new Christmas show reuniting with Sarah Travis. Barb’s performances and many recordings have taken her around the world (though in longer than 80 days). She is renowned for her interpretations of major songbooks, particularly Bob Dylan’s. Leonard Cohen’s and Nina Simone’s. In a career of singing and writing songs spanning nearly 5 decades (gasp) she has gathered a legion of dedicated and ever growing fans. Her capacity to reveal meaning in well known songs is unparalleled.
