Casey Donovan

Overview

Start the year strong and strap yourself in for a night of powerhouse vocals. On Monday, January 18, the ARIA Award-winning Casey Donovan will take to the stage at City Recital Hall for a one-off show in association with Sydney Festival. She'll be treating punters to a lineup of absolute hits, backed by her five-piece band and directed by composer Daniel Edmonds.

In her trademark style, Donovan is set to steer audiences on a musical journey woven with stories, taking on the tunes of everyone from Billy Joel and Eva Cassidy to Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran and Adele. The acclaimed artist was the winner of Australian Idol at the age of just 16 and has been cementing her status in the Australian music scene ever since, most recently flexing her theatrical chops in the role of Chicago's Matron Mama Morton.

As Donovan knows her way around a power ballad, you can bank on this being one super-charged performance. If life feels like it's been lacking on the live music front of late, here's your chance to tap your toes along to some tunes.
