Cherry Street Productions presents
A Tribute to Jesse Younan
Leukaemia Fundraiser
On Tuesday afternoon 22nd July, 2008 - Australian singer/songwriter Jesse Younan passed away after a short battle with Leukaemia after just completing his fourth studio album 'A Good Day for a Migraine'.
The album received outstanding critical acclaim and an everincreasing number of fans who have been deeply moved by Jesse's unique, beautiful singing and masterful songwriting.
A Tribute to Jesse Younan is a special evening when a collection of some of Melbourne's finest singer/songwriters pay tribute to Jesse Younan's masterful songwriting by performing a collection of his songs.
The night promises to be a moving and powerful celebration of a exceptionally talented musician who used the magic of words and music to cope with life's struggles.
Performances by: Justin Yap and Nardia Brancatisano - Betty France - Carolyn Oates - Khristian Mizzi - Emad Younan - Kev Murphy - Anna Cordell - Burnt Letters - The People's Choral Union - Luke Greenhatch - Someday June - Eric Benz
Jesse left behind a rich catalogue of beautiful and haunting music available through Vitamin Records and iTunes. His music has featured on 'House Husbands' (Channel 9); 'Packed to the Rafters' (Channel 7) and 'East of Everything' (ABC).
"There is no softness in a Jesse Younan song but there is much tenderness. By that I mean that he doesn't avert his eyes, or yours, from harshness lived or observed... Astonishingly good." - Bernard Zuel (SMH)
"Sydney singer-guitarist Jesse Younan has a percussive fingerpicking style reminiscent of sharpening knives, and he sure knows how to use them." - Michael Dwyer (The Age)
"Jesse Younan sets himself apart from the 'another man, another guitar, another singer/songwriter' pack in two ways. Firstly Younan's is one of the more talented acoustic guitarists treading the boards, his fine picking style sitting him somewhere between the folk of Richard Thompson and the the blues of Tim Buckley. And secondly the Tim Buckley compassion doesn't stop there, for there are moments, flashes, when Younan's finely timbered mellifluous vocals begin to soar in a way that touches on the Buckleyesque" - Chris Peken (Alternative Media Group)
Proceeds go to the Leukemia Foundation.
