Sydney’s ‘chainsaw folk’ The Crooked Fiddle Band are back to launch their fourth album, 'The Free Wild Wind and the Songs of Birds'.
The follow-up to 2019’s ARIA-nominated 'Another Subtle Atom Bomb' takes in a more cinematic sound, touching on the band’s folk roots, and weaving a quiet beauty alongside the band’s signature energy. Rallying around the visceral violin playing of Jess Randall, The Crooked Fiddle Band bring their dynamic show, honed on festival stages the world over, to The Baroque Room for this album launch party.

“This band really is a national treasure and testament to the infinite talent that keeps manifesting in our backyard... they have reinvented folk music as it is known.” – Vanessa Lahey, Australian Stage

“It is rare to hear genuinely original music these days, but when you listen to The Crooked Fiddle Band, your mouth will drop open.” – Bruce Elder, SMH

“Absolutely jam-packed with mind-blowing, face-melting, jaw-dropping, head-spinning moments” – Jazmin O'sullivan, themusic

“Their concept, fusing traditional styles and instruments with a modern, eclectic and experimental approach is ambitious, yet their dedication and commitment have been rewarded with longevity and international reach that has inspired many other musicians, myself among them.” – Steve Albini
