Music News - Songs From The South Arts Festival

Songs From The South Arts Festival

03 October 2014 - 0 Comments

Songs from the South is a concert of acoustic collaboration featuring Dunedin's very own Delgirl with Invercargill’s Into The East and introducing Jake Cropley. Featuring these award winning musicians songs and yarns, this will be an extravaganza of folk, country and roots music at it's finest with a grand finale of all the performers together on stage featuring much loved songs from the South of their own and of others .

Delgirl are three multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters who play roots music, bedded in tradition but speaking of today's laughs, loves and losses in one clear voice. As performers they slip quietly into the living-room of the soul, warming it with their unaffected charm. Fluid, luminous voices meld with guitar, ukulele, banjo and stand-up bass in songs that swing with sweet-tempered ease. Delgirl landed the Recording Industry Association (RIANZ) Award for Folk Album of the Year, for their debut long player Two, Maybe Three Days Ride in 2008.

Since busting onto the scene as a pair of Southern unknowns Graeme Woller & Liv McBride of Into The East have gathered a strong following thanks to their tight performances & crystalline sound that has been described as Fleetwood Mac with the poetic & harmonic charm of Simon & Garfunkel. Into The East have picked up nominations for Best NZ Folk Album, along with a nomination for the highly regarded Taite Music Prize, and won APRA Album Of The Year & Band Of The Year at the 2014 Southland Entertainment Awards.

Jake Cropley is a year 12 Kings High School student, and winner of the Play It Strange Commonwealth Games baton song competition. https://www.facebook.com/jake.cropley
