A double headline at Screaming Rooster for a relaxed Sunday session. All performed amongst Jonas Jessen Hansen’s art exhibition “Evoking Memory”; Music Amongst The Art.
First up – Tall Folk:
Lara is from a long line of long legs. Jack is an extension of generations of long necks. Together, with their long limbs and swirling harmonies, they are Tall Folk. As an US-American import, Jack brings song-writing and Midwestern twang hardened in Americana tradition. Lara softens and juxtaposes the raspy edges with warm, resonant harmonies established through years embedded in the Dunedin folk scene. From the comparatively upper stratospheres of human heights, they write from a bird’s eye view of political and social turmoil, lined with remnants of the goodness that keeps us all moving. Think a Guthrie-inspired young Prine laced with the grace of Gillian Welch. Just a bit taller.
Followed by – JUDAH.:
A singer/songwriter based in Dunedin, New Zealand. Her writing is inspired by the genres of soul and pop. Lyrically and sonically her songs come together in a delicate yet strong way.
If you want crowds and noise drowned music, head to the Octagon bars. If you prefer a personal listening event buy your tickets now or you will miss out.
