Come get amongst the warm
glow and ferocious dancing
which is the signature of every show.
We Are the Belly Savalas, ready and fired up to serve you a hot, chaotic and classy blend of Soul, Folk and Funk with unforgettable, honest storytelling.
Witness Belly Savalas take you on a musical journey through soulfully conducted crowd singalongs with three part harmonies, to sweaty dancing with raucous horn fanfares, then magically pull your focus to intimate reflections through personal lyrics and instrumental mastery. Experience the pent-up mayhem of Naarm's most loveable music teachers and music therapists and bask in their ability to let loose, bringing their love and passion for music to the broader community.
With jazzy horns, funky drums, deep storytelling and playful antics, this dynamic 7-piece creates a fun, inclusive and thoroughly danceable experience.
Since their 2017 inception, Belly Savalas have taken audiences by storm - Highlights include a sold out 2023 album launch, Tablelands Folk Festival (QLD), Rock For Refugee Rights (Naarm/Melbourne) to name a few!
“Belly Savalas started as a vocal jam between Anna and I over a bag of fish and chips on the cliffs overlooking Port Philip Bay. The Catchphrase, ‘We are the Belly Savalas’ improvised with our mouths full, soon became the inspiration for a 7-piece troupe of Melbournes silliest and finest musicians.”
