Show Details
Jewels Upon The Sea: The Music of David Crosby is a new five-piece tribute built around Crosby’s unique songs and the vocal harmonies that give them their character. With every musician singing, the ensemble places the exchange between voices at the centre of the performance. Played in Cros’ spirit, where his love for Coltrane melded with folk and rock, Jewels Upon The Sea is less a tribute show and more parachuting the audience straight into the feelings that surrounded the music’s creation.
The show makes its debut at Bird’s Basement, Melbourne, on Thursday 18 February 2027.

David Crosby made harmony an adventure. His music could be tender, defiant or quietly strange, with melodies that linger and chords that lead somewhere unexpected. Across The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and his solo work, he helped create a musical language that still rewards close listening.
Jewels Upon The Sea: The Music of David Crosby brings five distinctive musicians together to celebrate that spirit: Simon Starr (bass, vocals), Ohad Rein / Old Man River (guitar, vocals), James Black (keyboards, vocals), Tony Floyd (drums, vocals) and Jonathan Skovron (guitar, vocals).
With every member of the band contributing vocals, harmony is at the heart of the evening. Once the lyrics are sung, the band really gets going, chasing the ever-elusive thing that is group improvisation; conversations and dialogues between dear friends who don’t necessarily agree on everything.
Making its debut at Bird’s Basement, this new tribute invites devoted Crosby listeners and first-time listeners into a songbook full of warmth, restless invention and the pleasure of voices coming together.
