21 August 2015 - 0 Comments
Yellow Eye Ltd Dunedin
presents Our Songs from the South 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. Best Country
duo/group 2014 CMANZ.
Also thrown into the musical mix is
the young Jake Cropley, another Dunedin
grown artist who has only just begun his journey, accompanied only with voice
and his guitar, into the world of acoustic music. As a young
emerging singer/songwriter, Jake has already performed at the world renowned Celtic Connections 2015
Music Festival in Glasgow, Scotland,
alongside hundreds of other artists where he had the chance to share his music
and further develop the art of performing. Jake is also the winner of the Otago
Secondary Schools 'Commonwealth Games Baton Songwriting Competition', with his
Scottish flavoured anthem On Forever Ye Go.
