ELLINGTON SWEET 16 FESTIVAL: SIXTEEN YEARS OF SWEET JAZZ
21st February – 2nd March 2025
The Ellington is proud to present Australian music royalty, Mahalia Barnes.
Direct from a national tour singing with Cold Chisel, Mahalia is currently starring in the iconic role of Mary on the national tour of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Mahalia Barnes has been in and around music her entire life. Throughout her childhood years she was exposed to everything from Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett to Ike + Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder, all of which helped shape her into the powerhouse soul and blues vocalist that has jaws dropping every time she picks up a mic.
Mahalia and her band, The Soul Mates, have released three albums and consistently play to capacity crowds around the country. This is an exclusive opportunity to experience Mahalia Barnes‘ debut in the intimate, acoustic setting of The Ellington Jazz Club.
