BIOGRAPHICAL PROFILE
Naomi Eyers
An Australian singer and can be considered as one of the best to come out of Adelaide.
Born in Adelaide South Australia, Naomi’s singing career has spanned nearly two decades and the four corners of the globe, and she has performed in some of the world’s best venues and alongside some of the biggest names in music.
She studied music at Flinders University and jazz performance at Elder Conservatorium. Her career first took flight in Sydney, where she performed as a live and session vocalist, making regular appearances on such shows as Hey, Hey, It’s Saturday, The Midday Show, The Mike Walsh Show, Johno and Danno Show. There she joined the band Supermarket, performing with them regularly at The Basement and on the Sydney Jazz circuit.
In 1986, she conceived and created one of Australia’s most successful musical acts, The Fabulous Singlettes. With the Singlettes, Naomi toured Australia and gave numerous TV performances before going to the Edinburgh Festival, where they were named “Pick of the Fringe” by the BBC, and nominated for an Olivier Award in 1988.
The Singlettes quickly became a familiar feature on the London landscape, playing for three years in various West End theatres, the Royal Albert Hall , The Palladium, Wembley Arena, appearing with Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Shirley Bassey, and at the Royal Variety Show. They were also familar faces on British TV, including Live at the Palladium and their own specials on BBC and Channel 4. They released their live album “Stop in the Name of Love” in 1989.
In 1991, Naomi left the Singlettes to resume her solo career, beginning with her solo show “Naomi Eyers Lets Her Hair Down” in the West End. She formed her own band with some of London’s finest musicians–Tony O’Malley (10cc, Kokomo) Neil Hubbard (Joe Cocker’s Original Grease Band, Brian Ferry) , Andy Newmark (Sly and the Family Stone, Eric Clapton) to name a few. Through the ‘90’s, she was regularly featured at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club (appearing with artists such as Arturo Sandoval, Delfeayo Marsalis, Andy Sheppard) the 606 Club and other London Jazz venues and on the continent. She continued to do session work both in London and Europe and performed as a guest vocalist on jazz, soul, and dance albums and international tours.
In 2003 she co-created ‘Women With Standards’ for The Adelaide Cabaret Festival that went on to perform at Edinburgh Festival 2006 to rave reviews, Fringe & Green Room awards.
Naomi now lives in Melbourne and continues to tour Europe with the Fabulous Singlettes as well as solo performances in London and Australia.
