INTERVIEW: Markus Hamence is In The Jungle Room with Isaiah Firebrace from the California Crooners Club for the 2026 Adelaide Fringe. Isaiah and Markus chat Eurovision, winning X Factor in 2016, new music, the love of Adelaide AND starring with Hugh Sheridan and Emile Welman in California Crooner Club.
California Crooners Club
Throw the suits and songs of jazz into a cocktail shaker, add in a splash of R&B, a dash of rap, a double pour of pop, shake it with Hugh Sheridan’s swizzle stick, and you get his ‘California Crooners Club!’ Shaken, stirred, and served with Hugh’s signature charm, this is a musical cocktail showstopper.
The original band is back! Emile Welman and Gabe Roland, two of the world’s most celebrated, modern, crooners will join Hugh.
With timeless songs reimagined in dazzling style, these world-class singers will deliver a night of rhythm, romance, and sheer joy. Expect slick suits, golden harmonies, and irresistible grooves as the ‘Club’ takes you from vintage croon to modern cool — all with a wink, a smile, a swagger and a whole lot of heart.
