For one night only, Christine will be singing songs from her highly-acclaimed cabaret concert REWIND: The Aretha Franklin Songbook, including memorable renditions of the queen of soul’s most revered songs Respect, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Chain of Fools, Today I Sing The Blues, and many more.
“Aretha Franklin is a true legend which is why I’m always excited to sing her songs which are universally adored by everyone,” says Christine. “Her magic introduced me to a whole new audience and for this, I will forever love her.”
The show, which toured nationally to packed audiences in 2012, received rave reviews. Critics have described Christine’s performance as “elegant, powerful and seductive” and praised the gig for “capturing and celebrating the high standard of live Australian music and artists today”. Fans of Christine’s other mega music hits will also love the show. Her most anthemic pop songs including My Island Home and Sunshine on a Rainy Day also round out the performance, showcasing her incredible diversity.
Christine will also celebrate the festive season, by including some of her most loved Christmas songs featured on her 2015 ARIA nominated Christmas album Island Christmas, including Silent Night, I’ll Be Home For Christmas, How To Make Gravy and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.
“Christmas is a very special time for me and my family, so I have decided to include some Island Christmas cheer as part of this show for the gorgeous people of Milton” says Christine.
Christine’s successful tour of REWIND – The Aretha Franklin Songbook already toured around the country at such renowned venues as Bennett’s Lane Jazz Club in Melbourne, Ellington Jazz Club in Perth, Old Museum in Brisbane and Lizotte’s in Newcastle. The show was also a headline act at the Phillip Island Jazz Festival on Phillip Island.
