Brass Monkey (Cronulla, NSW)
Wednesday, 21 May 2025 6:30 pm
“Touring with the Legend” is a tribute to the legendary singer songwriter, Rodriguez in its purest form. Told by his band mates of 20 years, this show provides footage, songs, stories, and insights behind the curtain.
Featuring a Live Band with song list including: I Wonder, Sugarman, Crucify Your Mind, Street Boy, Only Good for Conversation, You’d Like to Admit It, Climb Up On My Music, Halfway Up The Stairs, Forget It, Jane S Piddy, Like Janis, Hate Street, Establishment Blues, Inner City Blues, Can’t Get Away, To Whom This May Concern, Rick Folks and more
The show is presented by Graham Gillot, who toured multiple times with Rodriguez, from 2004 to his very last US tour in Feb 2020, just before the Covid pandemic hit, cancelling the rest of his US tours. Sadly, due to this, Rodriguez never toured again. (During those last shows, Rodriguez actually predicted the severity of Covid, even before the lockdowns.)
Graham was privileged to be part of the Rodriguez story and to perform with the Legend in South Africa and the USA over the years as guitarist and music director. Rodriguez used to say, “We are making Rock ‘n Roll History!’”
Learn about the meaning behind some of Rodriguez’ most famous lyrics, get behind the scenes of the movie, and discover what ultimately happened to the money and royalties. Hear the story behind the unrecorded songs and the third album that never happened.
The show includes visuals and production with interviews, stories from the road, and unseen footage of the last tour.
Celebrate the life and the music of a Legend, who influenced and changed so many people’s lives, in ways he never knew. We honour and pay tribute to Rodriguez the Legend - star of the movie ‘Searching for Sugarman’.
