Genre-bending slide guitarist Dan Musil joins singer-songwriter Mandy Connell & her Trio for an afternoon of original folk music, stories & connection.

Doors 3pm. Music from 3:30pm.

Dan Musil plays slide guitar like no-one else, weaving otherworldly musical journeys and with incisive songwriting.
Melding masterful lap steel guitar and dobro with songwriting both honest and astute, Dan’s new EP journeys to where Irish tunes emerge from stomping blues, where eucalyptus-infused musical meditations meet driving groove & flowing phrase - the provocative and the calming.Genre-bending slide guitarist Dan Musil joins singer-songwriter Mandy Connell & her Trio for an afternoon of original folk music, stories & connection.

Connell’s arresting presence is what stands out. Singer and guitarist, she is popular for her writing, and loved for her stagecraft, but it’s her breadth of passion for the broader ‘folk’ genre which makes her unusual in Australia. A songwriter with a guitar, Connell has an edge more reminiscent of Margaret Roadknight or Norma Waterson than of Kate Bush or Joni Mitchell. Having worked with a well-known five piece ‘traditional’ band (Stray Hens) reworking contemporary and trad folk ballads, Connell is at home with big production, but continues to work solo or with simple lineups of bass and drums or bass and lead guitar, presenting her own work locally and Internationally with producers in Melbourne (Luke Plumb, Myles Mumford) and the UK.

Join in the cosy bandroom of the Brunswick Green for an afternoon of music, stories, connection - folk against fascism.

Concession tickets available (no-one turned away).
