Monica Trapaga

Iconic Australian jazz singer Monica Trapaga is coming to Maleny! Monica will be accompanied by a quartet of her favourite musicians – Tod Hardy (trumpet), Steve Russell (piano), Helen Russell (bass) and Dave Sanders (drums).

A consummate singer, actor and author Monica was also a beloved presenter on Playschool. Her warm and witty approach has brought her success as a jazz singer at major festivals across the world.

In July 1988 she founded Monica and the Moochers in Sydney, and their first studio album, Too Darn Hot, was released by August 1990. Their second studio album, Cotton on the Breeze, was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album at the Aria Music Awards 1992.

In an afternoon of fabulous jazz on August 6 from 2pm, Monica will share her favourite tunes and tales of a life well lived, then join us for wine on the deck. Bookings and further information malenyartscouncil.com
