MAIN ROOM
Taylor Project are renowned for their “folk music with factoids” or “nerd folk”. The band is built around twin sisters Liz Taylor and Sarah Taylor. Their song topics are informed by interests in history and geography, combined with an appreciation of both the humour and the sadness found in folk music styles.
This winter, country-soul-indie-rocker Duncan Graham (from Duncan Graham and his Co-Accused) has gathered up his exceptional violinist Jan Palethorpe for a bunch of duo shows around Melbourne and the regions. Expect the same soulful and poetic epics for which his band is known, delivered in a way that shows off the tenderness and elegance that lives within.
Brittle Sun are a bluesy, folk alt country soul band from Melbourne. With soulful vocals that are as fragile as they are powerful, they weave lyrical narrative with stripped back grooves and evocative melodies. They are thrilled to be launching their new CD, and their new single 'Words in the Dirt' at the Retreat Hotel.
