About
Five time Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten has been heralded as "the Michael Jordan of the bass" and "one of the most fearless musicians on the planet." His talent has led to invitations to record and perform with such luminaries as Bootsy Collins, Branford Marsalis, Keb Mo, Chic Corea, The Dave Matthews Band and the legendary Moroccan group Nass El Ghiwane, to name just a few. He is also a founding member of the super-group Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.
Gerrard Allman Presents is proud to announce the return of Victor Wooten to Australia for a run of headline shows in May and June 2023. In an Australian first, Victor will be performing with his band of (literal) brothers – The Wooten Brothers. Joseph (keys / vocals), Roy (percussion/vocals) and Regi (guitar/vocals).
For over four decades The Wooten Brothers have been recognised as some of the most innovative musicians in existence and are collectively known as one of the most talented and dynamic band of brothers the world has ever known. Since they were young, the five brothers (Rudy – a saxophonist, sadly passed away in 2010) have been a musical tour-de-force redefining the limits of jazz, funk, soul, R&B, rock and bluegrass. Sons of military parents, the boys early years were spent living in Hawaii, California and Virginia – where they shared the stages with the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Temptations, and many others. In the mid-1980s, the brothers released an album as The Wootens for Clive Davis’ Arista Records.
Kicking off with 2 shows at Melbourne’s Memo Music Hall on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 May, the tour also takes in Adelaide’s The Gov on May 26, Freo Social Club in WA on May 27, Sydney’s Manning Bar on May 30 and Lizotte’s Newcastle on May 31 before finishing up at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on June 1. Tickets to all shows are on sale now. Don’t miss.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Great performance, terrible sound
by Musician on 10/12/23State Theatre - PortlandCould scarcely focus on the performance. The kick drum was so loud, and so wildly out of proportion to everything else, I could literally feel my clothing shaking on my body. It made my partner nauseous. I could tell Victor and his brothers were doing amazing things onstage, but we were forced out the door only two songs in. Get some new sound techs, pronto. This is awful.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Vic was great…sound and opener? Not so much
by MDinME on 10/11/23State Theatre - PortlandWhile seeing Vic is always a pleasure, the opening band droned on and on and on…I was there to see a Bass Master…I was not interested in a New Orleans brass band. Also, I felt the sound mix was poor; I was unable to hear all the instruments at many times.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Tight band
by Harvey on 10/11/23State Theatre - PortlandThe Wooten Brothers were terrific … very tight, great musicians, and Victor pulls it all together. Great R&B, Jazz, and funk.

by Daniel on 10/8/23The Fillmore Silver Spring - Silver SpringDiscovered Victor last summer yet the beginning and after the performance I felt like I knew the guy my whole life. This guy inspires me every day to keep going at it with my guitar. His brothers are amazing and the story of all the wootens is incredible. The day after I still was feeling the groove and goosebumps of that night.

by trickyric on 10/10/22Culture Room - Ft LauderdaleNo matter what kind of music you like, seeing Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey in person is a treat that nobody should miss. The Culture room has no bad sight lines and the sound system is amazing.

by G square on 10/8/22Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachVictor Wooten & Steve Bailey - 30 years of playing together- they weaved seamlessly through lyrical melodies, chromatic melodies, funk statements, traditional jazz, with Derico Watson holding it all together on those drums. Each one had their solo moments and executed their moments in the spotlight exquisitely. A stellar performance!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Outstanding, except...
by Middleb on 10/8/22Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachThe performance was outstanding - these gentlemen are true Masters of their art - hope they return! The venue, or someone, put a start time on the tickets of 7pm, when it was actually 8pm. We have a drive of over an hour, with lots to accomplish with animals and dinner, etc., before we leave home. We rushed everything to arrive at 6:50pm. The parking attendant told us the tickets were wrong - UGH. In the future we will confirm with three sources before we leave the house.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Top Ten Favorite All-Time Concerts
by Cornflower on 10/5/22Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleI have been watching Victor Wooten since I saw my very first concert in my Junior Year in High School when I snuck into a bar at the age of 16 and got a front-row seat right in from of him as he played with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I've been blessed to meet him and have read both of his books. He is a marvel of a musician. I had never heard of or seen Steve Bailey before, nor Rico the drummer... WOW! I told them afterward that they should put a warning label on the ticket and outside of the theater: "This Music is Mind and Heart Altering!" I walked out of the Bijou a new person. Their music and performance transformed me from the inside out. This is a MUST-SEE concert. Move mountains to get to a show, you WILL NOT be disappointed you did!

by 1BigVol on 10/5/22Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleVictor and Steve made music with bass guitars I never knew was possible! Derico held down on the drum kit like no one else could! It was simply amazing!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Wow!!
by Charliebro on 10/5/22Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleAbsolutely one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Such amazing talent and good people too! The world needs more good people.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Phenomenal show!
by JB on 10/5/22Bijou Theatre - KnoxvilleBesides being an incredible bass player, Victor is a great entertainer and knows how to create a complete show. Steve Bailey complements him so well in their different styles, and added another dimension and depth. Rounding out the tri was Derico Watson who blew my mind with his drumming. As a drummer myself, i really appreciated is dynamic control and creativity with fills and solos. And to top it off, Derico sang on one song - I had no idea that he has such a great voice.
