Join us for this week's Friday Night Live at 8pm for Rafe and The Well Dressed. Engaging lyrics, memorable arrangements, talented and immaculately dressed musicians. Rafe and The Well Dressed are a local outfit who bring life to the left-of-centre songs written by local musician, Rafe Morris. Formed earlier this year, Rafe and the Well Dressed got off to a flying start with a sell-out-season cabaret at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre, receiving rave reviews and many a kind word. This will be their first performance since their successful début and excitement is high!

Rafe and The Well-Dressed consists of Rafe Morris (songwriter, vocals, guitar, arrangements), along with Bec Taylor (piano, backing vocals), Zach Raffan (trumpet), Nicola Menser Hearn (bass clarinet), Catherine Keely (double bass) and Nick Peddle (drums).
