Renowned Sydney guitarist TOM FERRIS and keys genius Stefan Nowak stopped in at Eastside for a chat with Georgi and Pete on “A Twist of Cool” on Wednesday 11 August
They launched their latest album The Red Room at The Basement on Wednesday 18 August to a packed house. The crowd loved every minute of the fantastic concert.
Tom’s band at the launch included world renowned jazz/rock-star drummer Chad Wackerman, bassist Leon Gaer, on keyboards/synths Stefan Nowak, Jess Ciampa on percussion Dave Prichard on keys and introduced young gun guitarist Paul Mason.
Many thanks to Tom Ferris and the rest of the band for presenting your new album THE RED ROOM.
We thoroughly enjoyed the brilliant musicianship, the humour and the poitnant moments. Well done, see you again soon.
