Frank Jones is the songwriter and singer from the legendary Whirling Furphies, a multi-award-winning writer and ARIA nominee.

As well as penning Melbourne’s iconic anthem, “My Brown Yarra”, one of the great songs about our place Naarm (Melbourne), Frank’s lifetime of cross-genre songwriting includes five outstanding albums of his own and a multitude of songs written for and co-written with other artists.

George Butrumlis is arguably Australia's finest piano accordionist, proficient in all the many styles performed on this versatile instrument. He has played with a vast array of groups and artists including The Black Sorrows, Zydeco Jump, Caroline O'Connor and The Three Tenors. He is a regular guest artist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

Frank and George have played and recorded together for over 20 years. This Open Studio gig will highlight much of Frank’s extensive repertoire as well as some Zydeco Jump classics and, of course, some accordion wizardry!
