The Anticlinal Fold and the Nutcracker Fundraiser. Featuring Jo Huf, Jem Challender, Ben Gibbons, Arron Light and special guests: Greta Williams, Matt Colin, Thomasina, Mary and `Bertie Challender, Lucia Sharples and some more …

The Anticlinal Fold is coming back to the Coolroom on the 12 of December for another big evening of modern yuletide jazz and song, and this time, with another very important ingredient — Christmas spirit.

Proceeds from the gig will be donated to the Asylum Seeker’s Resource Centre so come down and join a bunch of local jazz musos in supporting a great cause. There will be the quartet’s usual complement of swinging standards and their own contemporary Jazz compositions. But the event will pivot around one particular piece of Yuletide genius The Nutcracker is amongst the most popular ballet music ever written. Enjoy the beautiful melodies composed by the iconic composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. So dive into your very own Christmas fairytale.

The band welcomes back Jo Huf to the fold. Jo is a Castlemaine-based singer and guitarist, and a Brazilian music wiz. Jo has featured in Triple J’s Unearthed and is making an impact everywhere she performs with her virtuosic skill and raw talent. Jem Challender on piano is the Anticlinal Fold’s MD and a past winner of the Australian Songwriters Competition.

The lineup boasts the remarkable talents of Bendigo-based double bassist, Ben Gibbons, known for his time with the folk band The Waifs, and the exceptional jazz drumming virtuoso, Arron Light, whose work with the band Husky has been shortlisted for an ARIA. Plus, there’s a huge list of special guests including family members Thomasina, Mary and `Bertie Challender plus many more.

Expect some brand new Jazz compositions and some progressive jazz arrangements of the most swinging Christmas songs, and a lot of surprises besides.

Tickets will sell fast so make sure you fold this event into your plans for the silly season.
