The lowdown

Two days before Christmas, we'll be chilling and funkin' with the James Ryan Funktet and Pat Powell, so gather your friends and join us for an evening of outstanding music featuring some of Sydney's finest musicians. Award-winning saxophonist James Ryan joins forces with multi-ARIA Award-winning vocalist Pat Powell and an exceptional band for a night of original music inspired by funk, jazz, reggae, soul and ska. Described as "possibly the most exciting tenor saxophonist in Australia since Mark Simmons" (The Weekend Australian), James Ryan is one of Australia's most respected performers and bandleaders. Together with Pat Powell, the James Ryan Funktet brings deep grooves, soulful vocals and a unique musical chemistry to the stage.
