Tribute spans nine decades

TESSA Marshall will pay homage to the women who have influenced her singing career in her upcoming show, A Tribute to Female Singers over the Past 90 Years.

Ballarat based Marshall will perform songs from Amy Winehouse, Carole King, Ella Fitzgerald and Kate Bush in an intimate cabaret setting at Creswick Courthouse Theatre.

Marshall is passionate about recognising the contribution a range of female artists over many decades who have influenced her musical style.

“I’ve always enjoyed extending myself musically and becoming more versatile in my repertoire of songs and performances,” she said.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to explore a range of styles from women of different musical genres and eras.”

Marshall believes it is important to support and create live music, in particular in regional areas to ensure continuity of programs and opportunities for performers.

“As a self-funded show solo show I chose the Courthouse Theatre because of its cosy setting,” she said.

“It is a small venue where the audience will be seated at tables and chairs and people can buy a drink from the bar and a BYO nibble and get up and dance if they wish.”

“As seating is limited, I encourage the audience to book early so they don’t miss out on what will be a great night of music.”
