William Jack holding his cello on stage in sideways playing position.

This Old Cello Box

Following an extensive UK/EU tour, with sell-out performances at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, Australian cellist and songwriter, William Jack, brings his unique multi-style cello show home to the Adelaide Fringe. The program includes iconic songs dismantled and reimagined for solo cello. Intertwined with original compositions from William's acclaimed album series, 'This Old Cello Box'. There's something for everyone, from virtuosic bluegrass, to non-Western sound worlds. William incorporates his jazz guitar background into an unconventional style of cello playing, delivering cellopickin' grooves and catchy hooks, alongside intimate melodies.
