Stewart has put together a list of precious songs from his favourite songwriters, Randy Newman, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen with his band, America’s Least Wanted to bring you this special show. He is also including some of his own songs from his solo album ‘My Magnificent Narcotic’
"...the opportunity to experience the remarkable Stewart D’Arrietta in live performance"
- Australian Arts Review
"A dynamic singer with a gravelly voice- imagine Tom Waits with overtones of Joe Cocker- and a wicked line in jokes and stories"
- Daily Telegraph
"May the national treasure that Stewart D’arrietta is... Continue to be an integral part of our national cultural fabric"
- Glenn A Baker
D’Arrietta inhabits the underworld of the lyrical tragedies and the jocular narratives in these songs with an ardent celebration. Touching on the themes of love, loneliness, war, dreams and ambitions of childhood and our relationship with God, D’Arrietta romps through the songs with his trademark raw vocal style, punctuated by his laconic humour.
