Pulled up in a cab and saw the marquee at the Sydney State Theatre advertising tomorrow night’s show. Mom still gets top billing – lol – of course! She performed here in 1992 and I will do the same in a matter of hours. This theatre is a historical site and rightfully so. Check it out…..#sydney #statetheatre #ninasimone #legacy #celebration #australia #bigband #tomorrow

Tonight’s show was another success! I never take for granted the effect of my performance. And, I would never have guessed I could inspire the State Theatre audience to dance. Yet, dance they did when I closed the show with the only original tune on the setlist, my composition, Finally Free. Wow! Next stop: Brisbane. #lisasimone #ninasimone #australia #bigband #tour #success #celebrating

The concert at Hamer Hall @melbjazzfestival was another magical evening. The audience sang along, danced and welcomed the Melbourne All Star Big Band and myself warmly, much to my delight. With makeup by @talimakeupartistry and a cognac colored wide legged one piece by @anthropologie I did what I always do: Put On A Show!! Next stop, Sydney’s State Theatre @statetheatreau on Thursday, 26 October. Join us for another magical event. #lisasimone #australia #bigband #tour #melbourne #sydney #4ditouring #brisbane #perth
On Saturday, 14 October 2023, Australians voted in a referendum about whether to change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. The referendum did not pass. I had already been asking the Australian team I am working with if they could assist with finding pieces by artists of the First Peoples that I could wear onstage, not knowing of the political shifts taking place. I touched down in Melbourne on 17 October and upon learning of the vote doubled down in my efforts. Unlike my mother, I make it a habit to keep my political opinions separate from my music, however, this time I made a conscious decision to show my support. During last night’s concert I wore a beautiful throw gifted to me by Irene Fisher, a descendant of the Stolen Generations. The moment I walked onstage the place erupted in applause. 2000 plus people in attendance immediately recognized the colors and designs and knew, without me saying a word, where I stand. Sharing my thank you to her. #firstpeoples #australia #stolengenerations #lisasimone

I love the Sydney Opera House! Just realized its design is inspired by seashells. At 50 yrs, it remains a spectacular sight to behold. #Australia #sydneyoperahouse #seashells #spectacular #lisasimone
