GIG OF THE WEEK
Natalie Rungan
Elangeni & Maharani Complex, Sky Venue (tomorrow)
Award-winning jazz singer-song- writer, Natalie Rungan, will serenade the crowd when she performs at Southern Sun’s Elangeni & Maharani Complex – Sky Venue (83/91 Snell Parade, North Beach) for one night only tomorrow.
Rungan is a household name in jazz circles and will sample some of the hits from her latest album, Natalie – This is Me. The album brings out a dichotomy of sounds which express the many influences on this singer-song writer.
“It’s been a great journey working on this album, it embraces both jazz and pop culture influences. I have prepared a very intimate show and can’t wait to deliver to the crowd,” said Rungan. – Tonight Reporter
