Age of Reason - A Love Letter to Coming of Age and John Farnham

"★★★★★" - FringeFeed 

"This show is of an Olympic Gold Medal standard and is not to be missed" - FringeFeed 

Raised in a big Italian household filled with Aussie Rock Classics on repeat, Jayda D'Agostino has found herself in her twenties a self-proclaimed John Farnham 'stan'.

A big thinker, a big feeler and a perpetual pessimist, Jayda finds herself turning to the music of her childhood to bring her joy, and there's no artist whose infectious passion and raucous vocals could do it better.

A SA Adelaide Fringe Premiere, join Perth-born vocalist and singer/songwriter Jayda D'Agostino and a live band as we soundtrack your evening with Jayda's personal favourite John Farnham classics, stories of coming of age, and a girl who's forever figuring it out. Whether you're a stan like Jayda or the lucky newbie just introduced, you will leave with the music of John Farnham in your heart.
