Why see John Oates?
an evening of music and conversation with oates
Best known as one half of the prolific 80s pop duo Hall and Oates, John William Oates co-wrote many of the band's best-selling hits, from Out Of Touch to Maneater. Yet in 1999 the singer, songwriter and producer turned his talents to the open roads of the mythical American landscape releasing a rich tapestry of Americana in six subsequent solo albums. Join Oates for an unmissable evening of music and conversation that mines his knowledge of Americana for a beautifully crafted event.
Most wouldn't associate Oates with traditional country music, but his journey has taken him into the great music tradition, once led by the likes of Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. With a huskier toned voice than his Hall and Oates days, the septuagenarian performer cements his place amongst the greats with his own take on the blues.
