SEPTEMBER
Darren Gallagher
FRIDAY 20 September, 6:30-9:30pm
Darren Gallagher picked up guitar in his early teens, helped him navigate ‘the streets’, something he now reflects on as having provided him with a wealth of material for songs and stories that he continues to draw from. His music is captivating from the get-go; his performance can move from a lonesome whistling entrance sounding like a miner in the Klondike, through to a wild folk guitar crescendo, and gorgeous baritone voice giving the grittiest performance of his life. Darren has lived the troubadour lifestyle in the true sense of the word. For over 15 years he travelled the world playing every type of show imaginable, from busking on the streets of Paris to a 1000 seat sold out show with a 46-piece orchestra in Caxias Du Sol in Southern Brazil. Having now lived in Australia for 11 years he has finally put enough roots down, to record his songs.
Ray Catt & Marta
SUNDAY 22 September, 3:30-6:30pm
Ray has a vast repertoire of popular Ozzie songs from the ’60s to the present and beyond…. Combined with Marta Stobbie who loves 70s rock and pop and has sung competitively in acapella choirs across Australia, in various bands and backing vocals for recording projects. Harmonies are her thing. She also dabbles in the alto sax as well, and with Ray’s guitar work and audience participation always encouraged (with some hilarious results) patrons are assured of a most enjoyable night out.
Bill Jacobi
SUNDAY 29 September, 3:30-6:30pm
Laden with a down to earth honesty and a healthy sense of humour, Bill’s songs are an eclectic amalgamation of swamp/roots, alternative county and hillbilly funk. As a solo artist, singer songwriter Bill Jacobi has embraced the role of multi-instrumentalist and one-man band. Using foot percussion, lap slide, open tuned guitar and banjo, Bill has developed his own take on the roots, folk and alt country genres.
