Nerissa Campbell and guests

Nerissa Campbell and guests


“Enigmatic art-rock/chamber jazz singer” (New York Music daily) Nerissa Campbell returns to her homeland Australia as part of a multi-city tour that explores a recent musical shift, and will include both new music and songs from her acclaimed past four albums. Campbell’s “beautifully ethereal”
(JazzSpeaks) music weaves its way through somber pop-ballads, bluesy folk songs, moody instrumentals, and a lyricism full of thought and space that creates a depth of feeling beyond the obvious.

Performing at Doo-Bop Jazz Bar on April 12th in her debut Brisbane performance, she’ll be joined by local musicians Steve Newcomb on piano, Luke McIntosh on bass, and Aaron Jansz on drums.

Nerissa has performed at Basilica Soundscape (Hudson NY), Festival Centro (Bogota Colombia), Roadburn Music Festival (Tilburg, NL), Singapore Arts Festival, Stanford Jazz Festival (Stanford, USA), Perth International Arts Festival (Perth, AUS), Asymmetry Festival (Wroclaw, PO), as well as at clubs throughout Europe, USA, Canada, & Australia. Her music was featured in ‘Freddy’s – the Documentary’ (screened at Brooklyn International Film Festival), ‘Stranger Love’ (original music performed as part of Eva Minemar & Tony Lepore’s play). She has been a part of performative literary readings, modern dance pieces, off-Broadway plays, and a 32-piece orchestra.

A graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, she has called New York home since 2001. A long term member of NY’s Balinese Gamelan Dharma Swara, she has also been the feature vocalist in post-metal band, A Storm of Light.

Nerissa brings her show to her home shores in April and May 2018, touring her worldly and atmospheric songs.
