What happens when world-class guitar mastery meets the raw power of the didgeridoo? The result is an unforgettable night of musicianship, power and musical storytelling.
In Down To Earth, Bruce Mathiske delivers big, cinematic sound created by one man on stage. Reimagined rock classics by The Rolling Stones, U2 and Frank Sinatra sit alongside sounds of fiery flamenco, toe-tapping blues and stunning original compositions which have earned him international acclaim.
Then the didgeridoo enters. Bruce plays the two instruments simultaneously in mesmerising harmony. Its deep, primal drone adds a visceral, earthy dimension to the guitar’s warm and familiar sound.
Between songs, Bruce's infectious charm and playful wit shine through as he shares stories and cracks a few jokes, drawing you into his inspiring world of music.
Stunning projections of worldly landscapes and footage of Bruce travelling the globe - guitar in hand, playing alongside local musicians from cultures across the world - amplify every moment on stage.
Described by critics as “addictive” and “astonishing,” Bruce Mathiske is hailed as the best all-round guitarist this country has produced. His 20-album career also features soundtracks composed for National Geographic and ABC television documentaries.
Notes fly, rhythms pulse, and audiences are left wondering how one musician can create such a huge sound. One stage. One guitar. One extraordinary experience.
