Following a sensational sold-out show last month at Blue Mountains Theatre, Glenn A. Baker returns to host another fantastic night of nostalgia and 1960s music with the acclaimed Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood Experience on 14 September. Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood were pop’s weirdest duo, a beauty and the beast pairing, whose quirky success confounded the critics while creating some of 60s America’s most iconic pop.
Nancy Sinatra’s singing career was at a standstill when she was introduced to writer/producer Lee Hazlewood. The result was the worldwide hit ‘These Boots Were Made For Walking’. When it finally became time for Nancy to do a duet, she would have no-one but her producer, the gravelly baritone Hazlewood. A string of hits followed, single-handedly creating a genre variously described as “saccharine underground” and “cowboy psychedelia”. Their iconic, eponymous 1968 album Nancy & Lee spawned some of the duo’s best songs and inspired generations of musicians. Now, the Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood Experience reimagines the Sixties through the eyes of the iconic and culty Nancy & Lee and stars renowned stage, film and television actor Zoe Carides as Nancy, Scott Holmes as Lee and an all-star band including former red Wiggle Murray Cook on bass. Fresh from sell-out shows in Sydney and Melbourne, they’ll be running riot through Nancy & Lee’s classic hits, including ‘These Boots Are Made for Walking’, ‘Jackson’, ‘Summer Wine’, ‘You Only Live Twice’, ‘Sugar Town’, ‘Lightning’s Girl’, ‘Something Stupid’, ‘Bang Bang’, ‘Up, Up & Away’, the trippy ‘Some Velvet Morning’ and more gems from the Nancy & Lee catalogue, as well as many more fabulous solos and duets.
