We Belong(ed) Together

Sylvia Cornes (Françoise and Friends, Fringe World 2020) presents the debut performance of We Belong(ed) Together, the Rickie Lee Jones Story. With her ethereal soprano vocals, jazz-inspired tunes and unique sense of style, Jones was the iconic figure of the alt/pop music scene of the 70s and 80s. When Jones met Tom Waits in '77 the course of her career would change forever. After an intense two-year relationship, the pair went their separate ways, but what would ensue is the best break-up album of all time 'Pirates' and the hit single 'We Belong Together'. We Belong(ed) Together explores the captivating life and music of Rickie Lee Jones. Presented with an incredible line-up of local jazz talent, this show will have you swept away with the power of Jones' music and mesmerized by her story.
