With more than 1.1 Million YouTube views, Australia’s only authentic 1920s jazz singer, Greg Poppleton, is bringing his upbeat 1920s, Charleston and New Orleans Jazz Age show to Sydney Rowing Club Abbotsford, 3-6pm, Sunday 3 December.

Completely uninfluenced by contemporary music, the Sydney-based singer’s passion for classic jazz goes back to age three when he first saw Louis Armstrong on television.

Greg has excited audiences for the Sydney Festival, Waiheke International Jazz Festival NZ, Blue Mountains 1920s Festival Art Deco Ball, Gin Mill Social, Rocks Village Bizarre, movies like Moulin Rouge and Chronicles of Narnia, and television like Peter Allen Not The Boy Next Door and Underbelly The Golden Mile.

He’s Australia’s longest-running swing DJ. His multi-award-winning cult Phantom Dancer radio show on 2SER has been on-air since 1985.

“Absolutely flooring. Greg Poppleton’s 1920s – 1930s jazz and swing always hits the spot. So authentic.”
Women’s Vintage Radio (U.S).

“Your great voice, your ability to “sell a song” and your particular energy came across as completely American while sounding Australian! And that trio is an absolute knockout.”
Lance Belville, Writer / Theatre Director, San Francisco.

For his 1920s jazz show at Sydney Rowing Club, Greg is bringing his dynamic jazz band of all Sydney jazz favourites.
