Tim Freedman’s Brett Whiteley Studio Session was the first event to sell out at Sydney Festival 2023. Those who were lucky enough to see the gig know why.  

Now he’s back for part two, with plenty more stories to share (last year only scratched the surface, according to Freedman) and some very personal anecdotes (cue Bob Dylan and bourbon) that connect directly to Whiteley’s love of Sydney and his travels abroad.  

The Studio Session is just Freedman, his distinctive voice and piano: a unique opportunity to hear something new and maybe some classics.
