Suade
Based in Melbourne
About this act
Suade uses five voices without instrumental accompaniment, mixing vocal arrangements with comedy. The Melbourne group draws from barbershop and doo-wop through to rock and R&B, alongside its own songs. Its live history includes Hamer Hall, The Forum and Chapel Off Chapel, as well as touring around Australia. Smaller rooms and large stages both form part of its performance experience.
