Sydney singer/songwriter Blain Cunneen does a sideshow at The Wine Cellar, following on from his performance at Laneway Auckland with Julia Jacklin.
Holed up in his Ashfield bedroom in the early months of 2019, Blain Cunneen recorded his debut 4 track EP “The Prizes We Demand” mostly in food stained t-shirts and underwear. He endured the sweltering heat nurtured by his beloved collection of Dyson fans, all the while undergoing his first bout with mental illness, which he explains hit him like a “...freight train out of fucking nowhere...”
The result of this period is a nostalgic musical sensation, reminiscent of the music of Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes and George Harrison that also boasts the humorous side of the young maverick.
