The actor’s Indoor Garden Party first began back 2009, when Crowe performed outside a London Pub owned by the late talk show icon Michael Parkinson. It has continued ever since.
Crowe’s backing band, The Gentlemen Barbers, consists of musicians he’s been working with between film shoots over the last four years. The band is comprised of drummer Dave kelly, trumpeter Stewart Kirwan, pianist Stu Hunter, guitarist Christ Kamzelas and bassist James Hazelwood.
Speaking on is return to the UK and Ireland, Crowe shared: “[It’s] an event, a band, a happening. It’s fluid. The personnel changes, but it’s always big. It’s like a festival where I gather people I admire, musicians and storytellers, and we put on a show,” (per Stereoboard).
“There’s an attitude about this band,” he continued. “It’s got a groove. We do a lot of story songs, but we also know we are here to blow out the cobwebs and give the audience a good night.”
Last year, RZA made a surprise appearance at one of Crowe’s shows in Australia. They sang a rendition of Crowe’s song ‘Let Your Light Shine’ which was released back in May. The RZA rendition featured an extra verse in which the rapper took over and added his own flare.
