‘Bring On The Night’ – The Music of Sting
For more than four decades, Sting’s music has resonated across generations-his poetic lyricism, genre-defying music, and unmistakable voice shaping the cultural soundtrack of our time. His catalogue bridges pop, jazz, rock, reggae and world music with rare sophistication, earning Sting a place in the hearts of a very diverse audience of listeners the world over.
Bring On The Night honours this legacy with passion and a deep respect for the artistry at its core.
Leading this exceptional band is acclaimed vocalist & producer Glenn Cunningham, who’s written and performed with the likes of George Benson, Guy Sebastian, Jimmy Barnes, Tina Arena, and John Farnham. His commanding presence and soulful interpretation of these wonderfully crafted songs bring new life to the music whilst preserving its essence.
He is joined by an exceptional six-piece band of truly world-class musicians:

A richly expressive and virtuosic player, Bill brings a refined musical sensibility and harmonic depth to the project. Leo Sayer, Lisa Simone, and Andrae Crouch are just some of the many names he has worked with throughout his career.
• Glenn Wilson – Drums
A consummate professional, both in technique and feel, whose credits include Wendy Matthews, Lee Kernaghan, and Glenn Shorrock. Glenn provides the rhythmic sophistication essential to bringing these intricate songs to life.
