As you all probably already know, Australian songstress Dami Im placed an impressive 2nd in the Eurovision Grand Final and won the votes of the Jury from all country’s combined with the song, Sound Of Silence. What you might not know is that Dami will be in town on August 27 as part of her ‘Yesterday Once More’ Classic Carpenters Tour at Belmont 16s.
An incredible composed and powerful performance by Dami at Eurovision has won her a legion of fans all over the world. The song Sound Of Silence has jumped to the number 1 spot on the iTunes chart, and the video has been viewed by 200 Million people.
Now Dami will hit the road in Australia to present a series of shows in promotion of her album of classic Carpenters songs. The show features all the classics like There’s A Kind Of Hush, Close To You, Rainy Days and Monday’s, A Song For You and more, plus Dami’s chart-topping hits Alive, Super Love, Gladiator and a reprise of Sound of Silence.
“Growing up in Korea and Australia, The Carpenters became part of the musical fabric of my upbringing. I even sung Carpenters songs at my first paid gigs in an upmarket Chinese restaurant in Brisbane along with piano”. Dami said on her love of The Carpenters.
Along with her stellar band, Dami is sure to set the stage alight with her incredibly distinctive voice.
“My intention isn’t to copy Karen’s voice or her tone, our voices naturally sound so different. I try to bring out the joy and the innocence in the songs while trying to sing them as honest and raw as I could as Dami, rather than pretending to be someone else.”
