Human Nature Coming Akoo Theatre
Thursday, 16 February 2012
Human Nature, Australia’s #1 pop vocal group with millions of albums sold worldwide, will make its Chicagoland debut as part of its first-ever U.S. tour for one performance only at the Rosemont Theatre, 5400 North River Road in Rosemont, Saturday, April 7 at 8 pm.
The chart-topping quartet, comprised of brothers Andrew and Mike Tierny, Phil Burton and Toby Allen, is touring in support of its new release The Motown Record (Universal Music Enterprises), and will be backed on stage by its seven-piece band, The Funk Foundation. “Human Nature: The Motown Show presented by Smokey Robinson” kicks off March 24 in Detroit and will travel to 33 U.S. cities. This outstanding evening of hit-driven entertainment features Motown's greatest music. The cross-country tour follows the incredible success of the TV special, “Human Nature Sings Motown with Special Guest Smokey Robinson,” which premiered in December 2011 on PBS stations nationwide.
The Motown Record is a classic yet modern take on the Motown hits that influenced generations, featuring songs originally made famous by artists like the Four Tops, the Supremes, the Temptations and Stevie Wonder. Human Nature brings its fresh soulful vocal style to classics like “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “My Girl,” “Uptight (Everything’s Alright),” and “Stop! In The Name Of Love.” Paying tribute to the Motown sound, Human Nature’s distinctive and authentic performances of these ever-popular favorites represent everything audiences love about the songs, delivered by four supremely talented young men who sing and dance their way through the Motown hit list.

About Human Nature
Hailing from Sydney, the high school classmates who would go on to become Human Nature were captivated by the harmonies of soul, gospel and R&B. Since forming Human Nature, the four friends have forged one of the most successful careers in Australian music history, releasing nine albums, five of which went to number one on Australia’s pop charts. They have toured internationally and opened for Celine Dion and Michael Jackson in Europe and Australia. Human Nature opened the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 and their 2005 Motown tribute, “Reach Out,” went platinum five times over, attracting the attention of Smokey Robinson. The legendary singer recorded “Get Ready” with Human Nature and now presents their celebration of the Motown sound in an exclusive run at Las Vegas’ Imperial Palace, where they consistently have played to sold-out crowds for more than two years.
