The Radiohead Project

English rock band Radiohead rose to fame in the ‘90s and became one of the most exciting and experimental outfits of their generation. Now a new era of musicians is turning to the group’s iconic back catalogue and finding ways to reinvent the music as their own.

Led by jazz vocalist Amelia Evans, Melbourne ensemble The Radiohead Project transforms the music for jazz quartet. Inspired by Radiohead’s radically deconstructed approach to composition and performance, the band explores Radiohead’s affinity for jazz, performing works from well-known records such as OK Computer, Kid A and Amnesiac. For fans, this promises to be a dreamy, intimate take on imaginative works you have long admired.

Recognized for her breathtaking vocal versatility and ability to capture an audience with her authenticity and honesty, jazz vocalist Amelia Evans is one of Melbourne’s rising stars. She’s performed with the likes of Terri-Lyne Carrington, James Morrison and Linda Oh, collaborated with pianist Bob Sedergreen on her debut album The First Song, and won a score of awards including the 2017 Generations In Jazz Vocal Scholarship. In recent years, Amelia has firmly established herself as a versatile vocalist and bandleader in the Melbourne jazz scene, performing with several ensembles at iconic venues and festivals such as the Melbourne Recital Centre, Hamer Hall, the Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival, the Castlemaine Jazz Festival and the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz & Blues.
