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.
NIVEA Sun Sessions take over the FORMA precinct during lunchtime at Tumbalong Park. Featuring an eight-show ‘Sounds of Sultry’ residency from genre-bending live collective, Sultry & Sample, each session will bring together resident artists and special guests – from emerging locals to international collaborators – to improvise every set from scratch and soundtrack lunch beneath the Sydney skyline.
With no two performances the same, the NIVEA Sun Sessions are free and open to all, with the FORMA dining precinct operating amongst ample shade, seating, lawn games and ample sun protection thanks to our major partner, NIVEA Sun.
