This incredible show promises an unforgettable evening filled with exceptional talent, vibrant atmosphere, and delicious culinary delights that will satisfy all your senses.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a night out with friends, experience the local music scene, and support our amazing artists. Don’t miss out on this celebration of art and entertainment—join us for a memorable performance at BASSically Ft. Andrew Bukenya & Jonathon Holmes on 25/05/2025!

With a voice that is extremely comfortable below the stave, Andrew Bukenya lends his classically trained bass-infused (seductive) vocals to music ranging from the spiritual depths of jazz and gospel infused melodies, to the giddy heights of pop, cabaret, music theatre and beyond.

With the singular musicianship and keyboard wizardry of Jonathan Holmes, (Sydney Spiegeltent/Lola’s Piano Bar), Andrew invites you to dive in and take a light-hearted walk on the dark velvety side of the vocal spectrum.

Be sure to check it out, Andrew has been a massive part of eventing we have done at SOUL OF SYDNEY since we started doing events for over 15 years, he partnered with us in the Sunday Sanctuary events & we love everything he brings to the musical world. We highly recommend checking his latest musical project out.
