Spring Music - Abby Otten & Your Local Blue Smith
Event description
Join us at the Watershed to celebrate local music with an evening featuring Abby Otten supported by Your Local Blue Smith.
Abby OttenÂ
Emerging singer-songwriter Abby Otten is, first and foremost, a storyteller. With a gift for lyricism and a fondness
for a subtle hook, Abby offers listeners a shimmering, visceral exploration of what it is to be human. After many
years away from music-making, she has spent the past year living, mothering and writing (feverishly) on Palawa land
in Nipaluna/Hobart. The coming months promise a vibrant creative expansion for Abby, as she prepares to release her
debut single in early 2025.
Your Local Blue Smith
Blue is an independent composer from lutruwita/Tasmania. Your local blue smith is a project where
Blue connects with other musicians , producers and artists both on and off the island. Honing guitar prowess as a
resident musician on the ferry between the mainland and the little island. Sometimes playing in 5m swells, the music
often is reflective of a life at sea The compositions are grounded in exquisite guitar playing . Frequently taking
sonic detours in a way that is seamlessly genre fluid. The latest release ‘Nipussi’ is a collaboration with mainland
electronic producer TimSun (Sam Litche). It is a dedication to the Mentawai surf camp Beng Beng’s and all there
beautiful kindness.
We aim to provide a space for ‘active listening,’ which means our gigs are seated, creating a semi-intimate atmosphere.
