Joe Camilleri & The Black Sorrows
The Quintessential Best Of Tour
40+ years in the making …The Quintessential Black Sorrows is a handpicked journey through the soul, grit and timeless genre-defying songwriting that has made The Black Sorrows one of Australia’s most enduring bands. To celebrate the milestone double album release, the band will embark on a nation-wide tour commencing in August 2025.
The Black Sorrows have been at the forefront of Australian music for decades, the band are renowned for their high-energy live shows and infectious raw, rootsy, rhythms. Under the leadership of the charismatic music legend Joe Camilleri, The Black Sorrows have evolved into one of the most sophisticated ensembles in the country.
“Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows have nothing left to prove, but that doesn’t stop them from delivering shows that feel like they’re playing to prove everything. The Black Sorrows are not just a band - they’re a masterclass in musicianship.” Markus Hamence On Your Markus
It’s clear that Camilleri surrounds himself with artists who share his passion and commitment to live music. Whether igniting festival stages or performing intimate club rooms, they deliver passion, authenticity, and a timeless soulful fire that leaves audiences craving for more.
The current version of The Black Sorrows showcases some of Australia’s finest musicians – Joe Camilleri (vocals/guitar/sax/harp), Claude Carranza (guitar/vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), James Black (keyboards/vocals) and Tony Floyd (drums/vocals).
The Black Sorrows in one form or another, have not stopped recording or performing since Joe formed the band in 1984. They have toured Europe numerous times playing songs that have become radio staples like Chained to the Wheel, Harley and Rose, Hold On To Me and Never Let Me Go. There have been multi-platinum albums, collectively sales of over three million records worldwide, ARIA Awards and Nominations and Hall of Fame honours.
