MAD VIOLET
|
Organic Folk Pop*
The heart of Mad Violet is folk sensibility, but at the fringes they create their own fresh organic folk-pop sound. Heart-felt, honest and true, their songwriting abilities match their delivery with a commanding onstage presence driven by energy to spare.
Fusing melodic vocals with guitar and luscious fiddle lines around their intimate pop sound, Mad Violet transcend their traditional instrumentation to find a balance between the retro and the modern. A dreamy mood both ethereal sweet as it is intense and challenging. Their emotionally charged, passionate live performances have seen singer/songwriters Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac touring clubs and festivals across Canada, USA and the UK.

Tecoma
Start a fire in your heart
Coming from Alice Springs and receiving plenty of airplay at Triple JJJ Amira (aka Tecoma's) debut EP City Folk music draws as much from jazz, roots and contemporary street music cultures, as it borrows from the rich Arabic and European folk heritage belonging to the singer-song writer at its heart. Tecoma's is a style that's struck a chord with audiences of many and varied tastes across Australia. Tecoma is folk in the truest sense of the word. This is music that knows it's history but at the same time is elbow-deep engaged and enamoured with life unfolding all around it.

EMBER SWIFT
|
Dynamic Canadian Duo*
Toronto's Ember Swift is both an individual singer-songwriter and a dynamic trio. Alongside of Ember's elastic jazz vocals and lush acoustic guitar are layers of electric violin, bass guitar, drums, percussion and vocal harmonies. Most notably, Lyndell Montgomery, with infectious charisma and musicianship akin to wizardy, has been performing with Ember Swift for over seven years. On drums and percussion, the tours rotate between two talented players: Adam Bowman and Cheryl Reid.
Together, they combine folk, jazz, funk, punk, world (ranging from Middle Eastern to Spanish to Eastern European), pop, classical and reggae. They travel fluidly between genres and easily shrug off any attempts to cloak their music in a style category. Their "style" cannot be contained.

ALISTAIR HULETT
|
Scottish Legend*
One of Scotland's finest singer/songwriters and interpreters of the traditional song. Alistair is well known in Australia from his younger days in Sydney when he fronted and recorded three albums with the folk punk band Roaring Jack. He subsequently made two excellent two solo albums and three with English fiddle maestro Dave Swarbrick. In the UK his songs are recorded by Roy Bailey, June Tabor and Andy Irvine and he is considered to be one of the most influential musicians on the Australian folk scene.
A hard-hitting songwriter who pulls no punches and who remains a true believer but who can also deliver beautiful traditional ballads and songs.

ROY BAILEY

Final tour of Australia*
English folk legend Roy Bailey is well known to Australian audiences for his moving and socially committed performances, Roy's remarkable rapport with his audiences have won him a legion of devoted fans over many years on the folk circuits of the world. A confirmed and life long fighter for social justice through his academic work, his musical career, and his personal life, Roy has been honoured in England for his services to folk music.
Many would say that services to humanity would be a more accurate judgement. This is a show for singing! (and perhaps for a few tears), come and say farewell to Uncle Roy!

PERU THE SINGING WOMAN

Sacred Awakenings*
Peru the Singing Woman is a spirited singer based in New Zealand who spent four years in the desert of New Mexico learning about ancestral memory and the voice of the earth.
Entrancing the audience by the power moving through her voice it could be simply said it is the earth singing through Peru. Working with live tablas, drones, hammered dulcimer and native American flute, Peru is constantly creating layers of intoxicating chant and vocal percussion. She inspires total participation of the audience in simple chants that can build into an ecstatic state. With the support of her looping pedal she fondly calls DIVA, Peru's performance is simply potent!
