WILLOUGHBY – 10 MAY 2019

Our next show is on Friday May 10 2019 when we present a veritable Festival of fantastic female vocalists. The incredible Karen Lee Andrews (Ms. Murphy from The Voice) is seriously one of the most powerful vocalists you’ll ever hear. She’ll perform some unforgettable Soul classics plus her own unique brand of Oceanic Blues. 

Opening the show are those stunning teen songbirds Nat & Jules who made the Semi-Finals of Australia’s Got Talent as 13 year olds! They wowed us last year at Roseville and are back, even better in 2019.

“Karen Lee Andrews is one of the most original and dignified talents to emerge in Australian popular entertainment for a long time. She manages simultaneously to be both imperious, yet vulnerable." – Paul Sheehan, Sydney Morning Herald

Karen Lee Andrews started singing in Church – beautiful Gospel songs in the tradition of her Polynesian culture. She grew up in a musical household, listening to her brother’s Motown records and singing along to the satin voice of Stevie Wonder. 

Under her former stage name – ‘Ms Murphy’ - Karen came to public awareness in 2013, through her soul slaying performances on hit TV show, The Voice Australia where she won through to the Finals on Ricky Martin’s team. Since then she’s been writing and performing original material and creating an entirely new musical genre, which she calls ‘Oceanic Blues’. 

As the Sirens of Greek mythology mesmerised sailors passing through the islands of the Mediterranean Sea, strap yourself to the mast and let the magical voice of Karen Lee Andrews from the Pacific Isles, beguile you at Eastern Lounge.

“The harmonies of Nat & Jules are that good, they remind you of Simon & Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills & Nash.” - Mike Smith, NS Times

Teaming up first as 8 year olds, Natalie and Julia first came to public attention winning a northern beaches Star Search talent quest at the beginning of 2012. They have gone on to perform successfully in eisteddfods, other talent shows and various public events as a duet and won through to the Semi-Finals of Channel 9’s Australia’s Got Talent in 2013… as 13 year olds! 

Accomplished singers in their own right, magic happens when they come together, creating a vocal blend well beyond their years.
