Stewart D'Arrietta Sings the Songs of Tom Waits – Newcastle
Highlights
- Experience Stewart D'Arrietta's gravelly voice as he brings Tom Waits' poignant lyrics to life in Newcastle.
- Immerse yourself in a two-decade journey of music that explores love, loss, and everything in between.
- Delight in the rich sounds of a talented band featuring double bass, drums, and guitar, enhancing each performance.
- Witness a critically acclaimed show, recognised as one of the best at Edinburgh Fringe by The Sunday Times.
Tom Waits depicted the poor, the punks, the hobos and the lost. He could also write a love song to shatter Cupid’s bow. Stewart D’Arrietta covers this terrain of tenderness to terror and all the pathos in between. He has a long relationship with the music, and an affinity deeper than most having developed the hit show over two decades. One of the 10 best shows at Edinburgh Fringe according to the United Kingdom’s The Sunday Times, his characteristic gravel-voiced sensitivity brings out the shapes and shades of legendary songs such as Invitation to the Blues, Martha, and the wrenching Tom Traubert’s Blues.
Band Members include Philip Rex on double bass, Hugh Harvey on drums, Jonathan Skovron on guitar and vocal and keys by Stewart D’Arrietta.
