Feelin' Alright: the songs of Joe Cocker - Avoca Beach
Avoca Beach Theatre
Celebrated pianist and singer, Stewart D'Arrietta and acclaimed guitarist Peter Northcote have announced a dazzling new collaboration, Feelin' Alright – the songs of Joe Cocker.
Both industry stalwarts are stars in their own rights, with Glenn A. Baker calling D'Arrietta, 'A national treasure, an integral part of our cultural fabric'.
Northcote is an award-winning go-to guitarist for hundreds of Australian and international artists.
Together they are a centrifugal force and with the Mad Dogs band, bring to life the guts and the glory of the northern lad from Sheffield whose songs and performances blasted soul rock into full view.
D'Arrietta said Joe Cocker's musicality and famous stage gestures were both inspirational and relatable.
With a broad range of Cocker's repertoire from Feelin' Alright, The Letter, You Can Leave Your Hat On and A Little Help from My Friends, which Paul McCartney said Cocker had turned into 'a soul anthem', Feelin' Alright is not just a show for Joe Cocker fans.
