Australian guitarist Slava Grigoryan and Austrian bassist Al Slavik re-unite for an Australian tour celebrating the release of their 3rd album ‘And so, it turns.’

A chance meeting in London in the mid-nineties led to a strong personal and musical bond between Australia’s premier classical guitarist and an Austrian electric bass player more ensconced in the pop/rock world of the time.

What could possibly go wrong?.....nothing as it turns out.

With their wide and varied individual influences, they found common ground releasing two albums, Another Night in London (Sony,1999) and Continental Shift (Which Way Music, 2005).  They waited for the right time and place to add to their catalogue, and as it happens December 2025 in Italy seemed appropriate (these guys aren’t in any sort of a rush). You see, it’s all about coming together and creating something of beauty.  

They’ve succeeded. Again.

“The best music in the world – the kind that touches places in us we don’t even know we had – is genre-less.  The work of Slava Grigoryan with collaborator Al Slavik, is a triumph of unrestricted musical inspiration.”…Beat Magazine.

Opening the evening is acclaimed soul artist Cass Eager:
‍

“If Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones had a love child, it would be Cass Eager.” — Mark Winkler, platinum award-winning lyricist.

With chocolate-coated vocals and vintage soul swagger, Cass Eager brings bold, feel-good R&B made for lovers, dreamers and late-night storytellers. Her songs celebrate the optimistic power of a well-lived woman — the one you've been, the one you are becoming, or the one you’re meant to be. Soul legend Al Green once told her in his Memphis church, “good things are gonna happen to you girl,” and she hasn’t stopped believing it since.
