Adelaide Fringe 2021
My Joe Cocker
Joe Cocker was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movements in
performance, & distinctive versions of great songs.
Fringe favourite Stewart D'Arrietta & his band perform 'Feelin' Alright', 'The Letter', 'A Little Help From My Friends', 'You Can Leave Your Hat On' & other great songs made famous by Joe Cocker.
★★★★★ "above all, very, very fun" Broadway Baby
Stewart says 'along with his voice, Joe's movements were his way of expressing his passion & depth of feeling for the music. Joe crawled inside the songs & became part of them. Me, I play piano, so it comes out in my hands on the keys, as well as my voice'.
"Stewart D'Arrietta is the full package, both as musician & entertainer...a dynamic singer with a gravelly voice... & a wicked line in jokes & stories" The Telegraph
