ACCLAIMED Australian singer Jeff Duff will bring his Bowie Unzipped \u2013 10th Anniversary Farewell Tour to Bendigo in August.<\/p>\n

The performance comes a decade after both David Bowie’s death and since Duff began the Bowie Unzipped tribute.<\/p>\n

The show features Duff’s interpretation of Bowie’s best-known hits and has been critically acclaimed.<\/p>\n

Together with a band featuring Glenn Rhodes on keyboards, Jak Housden on guitar and Justin Duggan on drums, Duff will perform Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity, China Girl, The Jean Genie and more.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think it’s overstating the case to say that, had Jeff Duff hailed from a country in the top half of the world, he could now be as acknowledged and acclaimed as David Bowie or Lou Reed or Iggy Pop,” said Australian music historian Glenn A Baker.<\/p>\n

Duff has been singing Bowie’s songs for many years and the two shared a personal connection.<\/p>\n

Bowie frequented Duff’s shows when he was performing in London in the late 70s and early 80s.<\/p>\n

Then when Duff returned to Australia in the late 80s, Bowie tracked him down when he discovered they were living next door to one another in Elizabeth Bay in Sydney.<\/p>\n

“Duffo starts big with Starman, followed by China Girl which sounds better than Bowie or Iggy Pop,” a review from Fast Louder Magazine said.<\/p>\n

“If you closed your eyes, you could believe it was Bowie on stage.<\/p>\n

“Jeff Duff is legend.”<\/p>\n

Tickets for the performance starting at 8pm on Saturday 29 August at The Capital Theatre, Bendigo are available at boxoffice.gotix.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
