BUSH GOTHIC

FRIDAY 20th September  - BUSH GOTHIC 
DOORS: 5.30 PM / SHOW: 6.30-8.15 PM / TICKETS: $20 online  / $25 on the door 

Folk music to scream dream to. Folk can be heavy but our hearts should be light, join Bush Gothic for a night where pop culture and shipwrecks collide. Guest soloist with Melbourne Symphony Chamber, pianist, fiddle-singer and band leader Jenny M. Thomas is joined by double bassist Dan Witton and drummer Chris Lewis in what they describe as a post-modern bush band. Using trad Australian songs as their source material their musical influences range from minimalist electro to feminist poetry. Are they outsiders, lurking on the cultural fringe? Or have they penetrated to the inner core of Australian identity?  

BBC Music Magazine gave them 5 STARS, they are multiple Best Music Weekly Award winners at The Adelaide Fringe and the individual band members regularly work with international stars such as Meow Meow, The Australian Chamber Opera, Circus Oz & Tim Minchin.

Invited to perform at some of the world's most prestigious of art festivals including Mona Foma, Festival # 6 (Wales), R.I.F.F (India) and WOMADelaide, they have developed an international cult following amongst those who like their pop intelligent and their folk dark. Winning Best Band at the 2022 Australian Folk Awards they continue to smash archaic notions of what Australian folk is. Their radical re-interpretations of well-known songs may have you humming along, or you may end up crying.
