Seymour Sounds
Experience the definitive voices of Sydney’s jazz and neo-soul underground
Join us at the city’s creative threshold to experience the definitive voices of Sydney’s jazz and neo-soul underground.
Seymour Sounds is designed for those who want to hear the music breathe. Across six weeks, we are re-opening our courtyard to host an intimate series of back-to-back live sets from the heavyweights and rising stars of Sydney’s vibrant nu jazz and neo-soul scenes.
This is an invitation to settle into the city’s living room - a space to gather, connect, eat, and unwind amid the warmth of live instrumentation. Experience artists pushing their own boundaries with two distinct live sets, evolving as the night transitions.
