The Beautiful Losers accompanied by vocalist Nikki Jones will be playing the Duke of George in East Freo on August 17, to launch their latest album Music For Emily. Their album will showcase an original musical tour-de-force which integrates itself with the poetry of Emily Dickinson. The Beautiful Losers will be joined by special guests Skin Horse and Damon Hurst to open the show.
Local Perth Performer, musician, musical director, arranger, composer and writer Nikki Jones will be reciting Dickinson’s penetrating literature pieces whilst The Beautiful Losers play haunting music to accompany her delivery.
