Blue Valentines -The Tom Waits Songbook
Blue Valentines: The Tom Waits Songbook debuts at George Lane on Sunday 16 November with a matinee performance. This live project is devoted to the rich, strange and cinematic world of Tom Waits. Built around his haunting lyrics and genre-bending compositions, the show brings to life songs that play like faded postcards from forgotten cities - stories of lost souls, flickering neon and fleeting grace.
Tom Waits emerged in the early 1970s with a voice like gravel and a poet’s soul. His early work leaned into jazz, blues and lounge melancholy. Over time, it grew darker, more experimental and theatrical - blending found sounds, carnival bark, beat poetry and the dissonance of real life. The lyrics conjure alleyways, boxcars, dreamers and drunks. The music moves from tender ballads to percussive chaos.
