    Drifting Clouds & Father’s Favourite

    Don West & Jordan Rakei join Open Air concert series FORMA at Tumbalong Park, Sydney/Eora on Sunday, December 6.

    To close FORMA’s first season, two voices at the heart of contemporary soul will form a special one-night-only lineup in the heart of the city. 

    Sydney’s Don West brings his smooth sound to the FORMA stage – sailing straight out of the ’60s in a top-down Cadillac. His honey-dipped vocals belong to a different era, but this is definitely his time. 

    Joining him, Jordan Rakei fills the park with a lush, immersive live set shaped by soul, jazz and electronica, with Drifting Clouds and Father’s Favourite rounding out the bill. Genre-blurring and deeply musical, this is an open-air finale with warmth, precision and a whole lot of feeling.
