Following a triumphant 2023 tour that swept through NSW, VIC, SA, and QLD, Ashes To Ashes received standing ovations and rave reviews. Fans praised their ability to commemorate Bowie with unparalleled respect, sensitivity, and raw talent. One enthusiast described it as “an exhilarating experience and emotional roller coaster,” while another applauded the musicians for their authenticity and the singer’s remarkable ability to reproduce Bowie’s vocal range.

Ashes To Ashes was specially invited to headline Let’s Dance Carinda in New South Wales, an annual festival set in the Outback town where Bowie’s iconic ‘Let’s Dance’ video was filmed in the mid-80s. Capturing the quintessential essence of Bowie’s live performances, the band channels it with pure rock gusto.

Led by the exceptionally talented Paul Matthews, whose vocal resemblance to Bowie is described as ‘eerie,’ Ashes To Ashes brings together a lineup of equally impressive musicians. Marco Giardini (keys), Guy Hunt (guitar), Dan Irizarry (bass), Mark Hudson (saxophone, percussion), and Matt Carter (drums) collectively create a seasoned professionalism that has earned them acclaim as ‘fabulous,’ ‘brilliant,’ and ‘unbelievable.’

Prepare for an unforgettable night as Ashes To Ashes performs all of Bowie’s hits, including ‘Heroes,’ ‘Let’s Dance,’ ‘Rebel Rebel,’ ‘Space Oddity,’ ‘Ziggy Stardust,’ ‘Life On Mars,’ ‘Young Americans,’ and ‘Modern Love.’ Whether you’re a dedicated Bowie fan or someone who has encountered his music over the past five decades, this critically acclaimed show promises an immersive celebration of the enduring legacy of one of music’s greatest icons.
