Scott Tinkler live in Marrickville

Experience Scott Tinkler live on August 27th

Scott Tinkler will perform at 21 Shepherd, Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia on August 27, 2026. Tinkler is an Australian jazz saxophonist and composer known for his highly improvisational and often abstract approach to music. His work frequently incorporates extended techniques, exploring the sonic possibilities of the saxophone beyond conventional jazz idioms. He’s recognised for a distinctive sound characterized by circular breathing and a focus on textural exploration, often performing solo or in small ensembles. Tinkler’s compositions often eschew traditional harmonic structures, favouring open forms and spontaneous interaction.

21 Shepherd is a dedicated listening room and bar located in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Marrickville. Established in 2018, it has quickly become a significant venue for experimental and improvised music, jazz, and contemporary classical performance. The space is intentionally designed with acoustics as a primary consideration; it features a relatively small capacity allowing for intimate performances and focused listening experiences. It regularly hosts both local and international artists pushing boundaries within these genres. The venue aims to provide a supportive environment for adventurous musical expression outside of mainstream circuits.
