California Crooners Club is a slick, feel-good musical show that brings plenty of style to the Fringe stage.
Led by Hugh Sheridan alongside powerhouse vocalists Isaiah Firebrace and Emile Welman, the show blends classic crooner vibes with modern touches of pop, R&B and soul. Backed by a talented live band, the vocals are smooth, the harmonies are tight and the whole performance has that cool lounge-style energy that makes it easy to sit back and enjoy. There’s a great mix of timeless songs and playful moments throughout, with natural charm and humour keeping the audience engaged.
If we had one small note, it would be that the crowd clearly came for the music and could happily have had even more of it. A little less chatting and a few more songs would easily push this into five-star territory. Still, with standout vocals, brilliant musicianship and plenty of charisma on stage, California Crooners Club is a stylish and entertaining night out at the Adelaide Fringe.
