CONVERSATIONS WITH NICK CAVE
An Evening of Talk and Music
NORTH AMERICAN DATES BEGIN THIS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20th
Following a short debut run on the east coast early last year, Nick Cave brings his evenings of talk and music back to North America for a full tour.
Having recently taken this special show to sold out venues across the world, Cave returns to North America this week. During this series of music and open discussion events, he will take questions direct from the audience on all manner of subjects and perform some of his most beloved songs on piano.
Described by Cave as “an exercise in connectivity”, no subject is sacred and audiences are encouraged to be bold and challenging, confrontational and unafraid.
The relationship between Cave and his audience has always been open and intense, but deepened during his recent shows with the Bad Seeds, inspiring these unconventional and unique evenings of unfiltered, unscripted and unmoderated Q&A. “I thought that a direct conversation with the audience might be valuable – in the recent live shows we have all shown a kind of willingness to open up.” – Nick Cave

“Between stark, gorgeous performances of key songs like ‘Skeleton Tree’, ‘The Mercy Seat’ and ‘God Is In The House’, Cave was wry, genial and funny as hell.” Billboard
“This is a striking turnaround when you’re used to seeing icons in all their bombast and mythos. Here, you are getting them unmediated by journalists, you are getting them in an unfiltered and unedited form, you are getting them in a human state without the guise of stardom in full-force.” Stereogum
“Watching a legend in command of an audience, never quite knowing what would happen next, was a genuine thrill.” Sydney Morning Herald
