MADE NOW MUSIC is proud to present the launch show for the stunning new album by creative music juggernauts LOOSE LEAF. The launch show will be supported by the brilliant Meanjin Singer-Songwriter and storyteller Jo Davie and Comedian Roman Albert.

// LOOSE LEAF

Loose Leaf is an experimental jazz and free improvisation trio that creates music with a unique and uninhibited sense of freedom and trust. Led by saxophonist Andrew Saragossi and featuring two of Australia's most idiosyncratic and exciting improvisers Helen Svoboda (d.bass) & Canadian drummer Dylan van der Schyff, their music is a fusion of structured composition and free improvisation, exploring texture, melody, expression and spontaneity. Each member brings a deeply personal and adventurous approach to their instrument, employing extended techniques and textural improvisation to create a truly unique listening experience. Loose Leaf's sound is a captivating blend of individual expression and collective exploration, cultivating moments of profound beauty, fierce intensity and pure ecstasy.

Bursting onto the national Australian scene as runner-up to the 2018 Folk Alliance Young Artist of the Year, she is winning audiences and accolades across Australia, with her unique style and vibrant stage presence. Whether performing her own songs or soaring above her raucous gypsy band 'Cigány Weaver', she sings with heartfelt simplicity, technical skill and impressive versatility. Having showcased at festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), The National Folk Festival (ACT), Bello Winter Music Festival (NSW) and Tablelands Folk Festival (FNQ), her career has already taken her across Australia and overseas. Above all, Jo’s primary focus is to share stories, hoping to put a little bit of herself into every song she sings.
