Nathan Cavaleri Live
- SUNDAY 28 APRIL | FROM 5PM
Much of the country was oblivious to the career Nathan Cavaleri led beyond prime time Australia. By age 12, he found himself the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. By age 16 he’d toured with B.B. King as his guest, and played at the Kennedy Centre in front of The Clintons with Etta James and Bonnie Raitt.
Come join us at The Lakes and Ocean on April 28, 2024, as the talented Nathan Cavaleri takes the stage for an unforgettable solo performance.
