TOMMY SEXTON & The Suggestions Emerging from Brisbane’s vibrant music scene comes the debut studio release from Tommy Sexton– a soulful disco track titled ‘START AGAIN’. Alongside the dazzling debut comes a bonus B-side, the equally magnificent ‘LA LA LA!’
Described as the sonic lovechild of Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan, Tommy Sexton pulls from genres of “soul, disco funk, and post-apocalyptic yacht-rock”, resulting in a musical creation so wild and wonderful in its nature; smooth as butter and sweet as honey. Drawing inspiration from the likes of neo-soul icon D’angelo, jazz masters like Herbie Hancock, disco legends Earth Wind and Fire, to rock stars like Toto, the range of Tommy Sexton is nothing short of a marvel.
RENEGADE FUNK
Renegade Funk is collective of musicians who play all improvised funk, soul, jazz, afro and reggae, created in the moment and inspired by the audience.
The illegitimate love child of Parliament/Funkadelic, Prince and Theatresports, Renegade Funk are 100% improvised and a whole lot of funk. Featuring a heavy hitting lineup of musicians from a range of backgrounds, plus a star studded lineup of guests.
CONVIVIAL CLUB
Convivial Club is a genre-blending neo-soul band that fuses velvety vocals, smooth jazzy improvised jams, and introspective lyrics to create a sound that's both timeless and fresh. Each member of this ensemble hailing from diverse musical backgrounds, the collective combines elements of jazz, R&B, and electronic soul to craft immersive soundscapes that create a dreamy atmosphere. With a passion for storytelling and a love for experimentation, Convivial club delivers performances that are as soulful as they are spontaneous, inviting listeners to start moving or kick back and enjoy the ride.
TOMMY SEXTON ** NEW SINGLE ** START AGAIN
A bright, colourful, dancefloor-filler of a disco track, ‘START AGAIN’ evokes the euphoric feeling of coming back from the brink, using the metaphor of a heart attack victim who needs ‘A sudden current to the heart to make it start again’. On the beginnings of the single, Tommy Sexton said;
“It started as a spark of inspiration while I was washing the dishes. It was a process of uncovering what was inside my head, forming words to a melody that I found myself humming and trying to decipher and build on their meaning. To me it’s about renewal, finding inspiration - the light at the end of the tunnel. As it took shape musically it [gave a] ‘dance your troubles away’ feel to the music which matches the theme.” TOMMY SEXTON
