GOOSYBUMPS CABARET

My New Years Resolution was to get back into perfecting the DRINK SLAY F**K show. I know you have all been saying I need to get more into comedy and cabaret and guess what? My stubborn thick fine ass is listening. So in saying that, I would love to see you at this show. I will be doing two small segments and I am joined with some amazing acts and hosted by the one and only Memphis Mayhem. Grab your tickets now.

ZOE K RETURNS TO THE FLAMINGO LIVE STAGE

Join Zoe K for an unforgettable Sunday Soiree, where she will bring you a taste of New Orleans jazz and soul, complemented by her signature grit and cheeky banter. This is not your typical jazz experience—if you’re looking for a 'copy-paste' rendition of the American jazz songbook, this show isn’t for you. However, if you want to experience a self-confessed show pony delivering the best of New Orleans jazz and soul, along with original songs from her two albums and selections from her recent Sydney Fringe Festival performance, then this is the show for you.

Let’s keep it classy, but remember: it’s a Sunday Soiree! Come and close out your weekend with your new best friend, Zoe K.

ZOE K WHOLE EXPERIENCE: EAT SLAY F**K DEBUTE AT THE SYDNEYFRINGE FESTIVAL

Internationally acclaimed vocalist Zoe K is debuting her show The Zoe K WholeExperience: DRINK SLAY F**K at the 2023 Sydney Fringe Festival. Zoe K wHole Experience: DRINK SLAY F**K is the raunchy and unhinged coming-of-age story of a self-identified show pony described by Rhythms Magazine as “a voice that belies her youth, the dynamics i n her vocals are incredible” and ‘beyond the help of the Lord’ by more than one Uber driver. Think EAT PRAY LOVE, but instead of Julia Roberts eating Gelato in Tuscany it’s Zoe downing Plan B with a shot of Jameson in a dimly lit jazz-dive bar in New Orleans.

Originally hailing from rural NSW, Zoe’s spent much of the last decade honing her vocal craft and salacious improv stylings in the Jazz mecca of New Orleans, where she was a mainstay on Frenchman Street and collaborated with the likes of Kermit Ruffins and performed at Festivals such as New Orleans French Quarter Festival.

Born of the off-the-cuff (and on-the-nose) improvisation for which the ex-New Orleans local’s live shows have become known,laugh, cry and cheer as The wHole Zoe K Experience: DRINK PLAY F**K takes your breath (and scruples) away with the best, funniest and filthiest of what Jazz comedy has to offer.

Corona Update

Its been day 13 of social isolation here in New Orleans. The streets are empty, the bars are boarded up and the southern charm still lives on in the community that has come together to help each other in these testing times. As you may have heard, the musicians here in New Orleans have been affected with having all of their future shows cancelled due to the mandatory lockdown. April is one of the busier times here for all service industry workers and musicians, with festivals such as French Quarter Festival and Jazz Fest. It is the time where we all make bank and put it aside to last the summer months here as it is a lot slower and the foot traffic we get is minimal and dire, so money doesn’t flow as much. For my supporters back in Australia, musicians here earn money in tips, its very rare we get a guarentee and if we do, its not that much. So we really rely on tips, and if there isn’t anyone here to tip then we go hungry. I am not sure how long it will take New Orleans to bounce back after this, Louisiana has had the highest cases reported and they say its from all the visitors over Mardi Gras. It is surreal to see the difference a month can make, last month we were all dancing in the street, hugging, singing, having strangers become friends and being immersed in the frivolity of what makes New Orleans one of the magical cities. This month, you drive down Frenchmen Street and all the hot spots are boarded up because of the uncertainty of when they can open again. I think what makes it a hard pill to swallow is that what makes New Orleans so magic is the people, the energy, the music, the grit and love. A city that is kept alive with the pockets of people coming to listen to music, drink the drinks, eat the food and live a good story, I miss walking in the quarter hearing the Southern way of saying hello “how you doing my baby” , while you can hear the Calliope playing from the Steam Boat Natchez on the Mississippi, walking down Royal Street hearing Doreen on the Clarinet, Stopping in at a bar to see one of your favourite bartenders and sharing stories from the weekend.

As a musician here in this city, I miss performing so much. It is my saviour. I love who I get to play with, I love the people who come to see me, I miss the bartenders who appreciate what we do (and vice versa), and most of all I just miss the contact of the people who make this city what it is, unique and special.

So to save my sanity I am going to be doing a live Facebook concert to also help generate some extra money in these times. Please head to my Facebook page Zoe K Music to see the details.

I love you all, stay inside, stay healthy and be good.
