Darren Johnstone

Three decades on stage have moved Darren Johnstone between cabaret, solo shows, duos and full bands, and he still plays both piano and guitar depending on what a set calls for. His repertoire runs wide enough to open on a laid-back piano bar mood and close on a full dance set, without the join showing. Most of that career has played out across Sydney's pubs, clubs and private functions, and each one gets its own set list, shaped by how well he can size up the room. Sydney-based.
