The Thin White Ukes perform the songs of David Bowie with love and harmony.
The glamorously attired Melbourne trio travels six decades deep into the great art-rock visionary’s swooning songbook of smash hits and astounding obscurities, each lovingly reassembled for precision acoustic strings and three richly entwined voices.
Betty France, Michael Dwyer and Robert Stephens came together in the antipodean winter of 2015 to celebrate the Australian opening of the historic David Bowie Is... exhibition. An instant hit with rabid fans and innocent bystanders alike, they have since entranced audiences from cabaret lounges to folk festivals; outback pubs and clubs as far afield as mainland China.
The Thin White Ukes' high passion, mellifluous musicality and stunning attention to detail honour and illuminate Mr Bowie's beloved back catalogue with a rare degree of creative invention, an act of homage befitting their hero's relentless quest for adventure.
