Spaceman Africa the Musical

Originally from Canberra writer, musician and modern-day nomad, Spaceman Africa decided to legally change his name after an adventurous bender in Ireland in 2002. Spaceman's unique folk-rock compositions are musical versions of the multitude of humorous stories Spaceman has written about from traveling the world, hence the name of the project is Spaceman Africa the Musical. Fans have likened his music to that of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan and describe his amusing lyrics comparable to Tenacious D and Flight of the Conchords.

2018 saw Spaceman perform Spaceman Africa the Musical for the first time accompanied by a band. Together, they were able to fulfil two of Spaceman's long-held dreams: 1. to perform his songs live with a band, and 2. to perform at the iconic Canberra venue, the Phoenix Pub.

Spaceman Africa the Musical is a collection of some of those autobiographical cheeky, funny stories put to music.
