Sunday 12 May 7pm: Next Offramp Next Offramp is a contemporary acapella vocal group. They were the first performers booked for our inaugural Sanctuary St James series, way back in 2021. Next Offramp's eclectic repertoire is a mix of popular songs, along with some wonderfully obscure gems that blur the lines between pop, jazz and folk. Described as “edgy”, with tight rhythms, fresh harmonies, and groove, Next Offramp has plenty of energy and heart. The singers include an architect, accountant, GP, a couple of general managers, a couple of IT whizzes, an editor, function planner, maritime executive, cartographer, and singing teacher. Their voices, experiences and personalities are as eclectic as the music they perform.
Tickets cost $30 each, including GST. A small service charge will be added at the checkout. Click here to buy tickets for Next Offramp
