In Concert with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra
“One of the most venerated songwriters of his generation.” – USA Today
Randy Newman is one of the great American songwriters. Tunesmiths like Paul Simon, Elvis Costello and James Taylor routinely sing his praises, and Bob Dylan said: “There’s not that many people in Randy’s class… Louisiana 1927 or Sail Away – it doesn’t get any better than that.”
Newman essentially has two careers; the first as “one of the most spectacularly irreverent songwriters of the last half-century” (Chicago Tribune), and the second as an Oscar-winning film composer (Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Meet the Parents), with a further 17 Oscar nominations, five Grammys, two Emmys and a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame under his belt.
In his first ever appearance in Australia, Randy Newman will perform his greatest heartfelt ballads, humorous sketches and biting satirical tunes, including You Can Leave Your Hat On, Short People and You’ve got a Friend in Me, plus music from his magnificent movie scores. Don’t miss this living legend.
