Jake Shears, co-vocalist of the Scissor Sisters, is going solo for the first time to help celebrate this year’s Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Including new originals, covers and some Scissor Sisters’ deep cuts, Shears will also be joined by a live band and musical director Lance Horne. Shears is also an outspoken advocate for LGBTI rights, and has worked with Dan Savage’s ‘It Gets Better’ project.

Catch Jake Shears at Upstairs Beresford on Thursday March 5 at 9pm, as part of Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras 2015. Tickets available from 10 Wednesday February 18online.
