Joe Camilleri - A Life in Music
The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia's most successful touring bands and 2014 was a very busy year. After 2 powerful performances at Bluesfest in Byron over Easter, the band flew to Norway to play at the legendary Rockerfeller Music Hall in Oslo and then by special invitation at the Nidaros Blues Festival in Trondheim. Scandinavia embraced Joe and The Black Sorrows in the late eighties/early nineties, where their albums, Hold On To Me and Harley & Rose were Top Ten hits.
Any examination of The Black Sorrows inevitably comes down to one person. Joe Camilleri (singer, songwriter, saxophonist, producer and the brains behind The Black Sorrows) is one of the most genuinely talented figures in Australian music. This year with 45 albums under his belt, Joe will celebrate 50 years in the music business and is showing no signs of slowing down. In the award-winning documentary of his life in music, Joe Camilleri: Australia's Maltese Falcon, Jane Clifton described Joe as "indefatigable." It is his seemingly tireless drive to continually perform and record quality music that has rewarded him legendary status and well-deserved longevity in the music industry.
