Music Events in Wollongong

Avant Raag is a dynamic duo exploring the intersection of acoustic tradition and electronic innovation. Blending rich jazz sensibilities with textures of electronica and world music, they create a sound that is both contemporary and timeless. At its heart is the musical partnership of Casey Greene (saxophones, flute, clarinet, keyboards) and Jeremy Sawkins (electric, sitar, acoustic guitars and bass). Drawing on decades of performance, composition, and international touring, they weave acoustic instruments with synthesisers, effects and live improvisation—producing immersive soundscapes and original compositions that blur genre boundaries. A leading figure in Australian percussion, Greg Sheehan is a performer, teacher and recording artist who is significantly represented in Australian music over the last 55 years. He has been a major influence on generations of musicians and has literally reshaped the map of rhythm. A passionate visionary, Greg created a unique system known as ‘Rhythm Diamonds’ , which is now a successful book. His original body percussion style and reinvention of tambourine technique have become legendary! Currently touring with Bobby Singh and as a Soloist. ‘Astounding Musicianship!’—John Shand.
