Tall Folk will celebrate the release of their album Wiser with a full band performance at beloved Bark!/Dog with Two Tails. Jack and Lara - both folk of notable height - joined songwriting forces in late 2020, finding in the duo a new space to explore the writing process. 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 in the Dunedin folk scene. Together, they have have pushed their unique brand of folk to new heights on their debut album Wiser, recorded by Tom Bell at Chick's Hotel in Port Chalmers. The record displays the duo's diverse, socially concious writing sensitiblities and an locally sourced band of seasoned players, each with more stories from the road than a Mark Twain novel.
Wiser is released on January 14th followed by an eleven date national tour. Tall Folk and their crew of session players, turned live band, kick travels off with their Dunedin release show at Bark!
They will be supported by special guest Tom Maxwell, part-time solo musician, full-time front man for alt-country band Killergrams.
Doors at 7:30pm. Music at 8:00pm. Tickets on UTR for $12. Door sales $15. All governmental public health mandates followed.
