Hosted by the infamous and wonderful Darkroom on Feb 8th, 8pm. come along, bring friends, lovers, kids and leave the elephants and polar bears at the door.
Fresh from a two-month tour in the US and Europe, Melbourne-based American songwriter Lucas Paine will tour his new EP, Chasing Winter, across New Zealand in February.
Chasing Winter is a intimate collection of alt-folk tunes and pulsing Appalachian country written during a two-year period of perpetual winter as Lucas traveled across hemispheres every six months. Chasing Winter was recorded in just one night, outside of Melbourne in an abandoned university hall with giant wood paneled walls and dark cobwebbed corners – dark and leaf colored, towering and graceful, these songs have spirit and direction.
Lucas was born in old mountain country North Carolina and raised in Alaska - you can hear these places in his songs. He has won American and Australian songwriting awards and toured in the US, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Chasing Winter is his fourth release.
