THE music and career of one of the highest-selling female artists is set to be performed at the Piano Bar in Bendigo.<\/p>\n
Musician Rachael Grace is set to encapsulate six decades\u2019 worth of film and music from icon Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n
Called Watch Closely Now: a tribute to the life, music and career of Barbra Streisand, Grace said it\u2019ll be a tribute to her favourite artist.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of her,\u201d she said. \u201cMe growing up singing, I\u2019ve always just admired and loved Barbra Streisand, her voice and her movies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a bit of a love letter to because she\u2019s shaped the singer and musician that I am.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will have music from all her main movies like The Way We Were and A Star is Born. We\u2019ll have some of her early jazz stuff from the 60s and then I\u2019ve taken it to her disco era.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a cross-section of her biggest hits as well as a few B-side cuts that I personally love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grace will be joined onstage by performer and Piano Bar owner Andy Pobjoy accompanying on piano with his band the Andy Pobjoy Jazz Trio.<\/p>\n
She said the show won\u2019t be a typical tribute concert.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve definitely got a hint of Barbra in there with her blow-wave and some outfits inspired by her. It\u2019s a nod to her but definitely my take on it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019ll be Barbra trivia throughout, and she always had the pot of tea onstage so I\u2019ll have things like that as little nods.\u201d<\/p>\n
Watch Closely Now: a tribute to the life, music and career of Barbra Streisand will take place at Piano Bar Bendigo on Thursday, 23 March, just in time for PrideFest!<\/p>\n
