Hi, I’m Greg Poppleton, Australia’s #1 authentic 1920s-30s singer with 8 albums and 1.3 million total YouTube views.
When I was 3, I saw Louis Armstrong on TV. I’ve been hooked on 1920s – 1930s jazz and swing ever since.
I bring the era to life so your event will be a dazzling Hollywood experience. Think vintage glamour, prohibition and speakeasies.
Now also think MAGIC with the new Sorcery and Swing Speakeasy dinner show!
You’ve seen me in sold out shows for the Sydney Festival (twice), Waiheke International Jazz Festival (NZ) and the annual Great Art Deco Ball.
Each week I bring you the award-winning Phantom Dancer show on 30 radio stations and online.
You’ve also seen me in movies and on TV. Top 3: Moulin Rouge!, Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and the ABC TV series Barons

Poppleton’s vocals capture the essence of the swing years with uncanny accuracy.

It would take an extremely jaded heart not to smile and tap your feet, much less dance around the room, to Greg Poppleton Sydney Jazz Band.

Last year at the Melbourne Jazz Festival and the Thredbo Jazz Festival I saw some great acts. I made Greg Poppleton Sydney Jazz Band an offer on the spot.
John Quigley
Director Waiheke International Jazz Festival (Link)
Greg’s pleasing, vintage voice... impressive portamento slides on "The Charleston"... refreshes well-worn standards again and again on “Five Foot Two Eyes of Blue” and “I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate.”
