Rai Thistlethwayte & Ben Vanderwall 2022

M@SM presents Rai Thistlethwayte & Ben Vanderwall, 3 course Asian Fusion-Tapas and two live sets.

Following a successful tour in Japan, a festival appearance in Bangkok, and sold out shows at Sydney Fringe Festival and the Perth Int'l Jazz Festival (before covid),

Rai and drum-gun Ben Vanderwal are finally hitting stages in Australia for the first time in two years!

Expect some serious musical telepathy, within the oh-so-groovy framework of Rai's jazz infused vocals and Ben's intricate beats, and not to mention, some gratuitous left hand synth bass action. Book Tickets Now to avoid disappointment!

Rai has been nominated for APRA Song of The Year. His band, Thirsty Merc, has sold over 250,000 albums in Australia, and has been nominated for 5 ARIA awards. Since 2002, Thirsty Merc has released 4 studio albums and a string of hits in the Australian Music Charts.

In 2019 Rai became a feature artist for Nord Keyboards, with 8 live videos released featuring Morgan Agren on drums (Frank Zappa, Glenn Hughes band).

In 2020 Rai joined virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani as his keyboard player for Joe's world tour, which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Don't miss this opportunity for an up-close & personal performance!
