Southern Light.
A special afternoon of songs between three amazing artists.
Alison Ferrier delivers an evocative and emotive collection of atmospheric folk, laid-back country and hypnotic blues. Her lyrically- rich slow-build numbers showcase her talent for melody, and her vocals are effortlessly refined with conviction and vulnerability in equal measure.
Rebecca Barnard was brought up in the jazz scene in the 60’s and 70’s being carted around pubs and clubs at a young age with her father , drummer Len Barnard whose most notable band was Galapagos Duck. She performed for many years before forming her band Rebeccas’s Empire in the 90’s. The band was much loved and had songs on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 3 years running. She has been a regular guest on TV shows Spicks n Specks and Rockwiz and appears often on ABC radio as co host to various presenters. She has just released 4 solo albums. She has been performing nationally for over 40 years.
Melbourne songstress Tanya-Lee Davies is a heart-seeking missile, who specialises in dreamy pop, country and hypnotic folk. She found her psychic home and inspiration in the sounds of Laurel Canyon, Nashville and early 70’s New York.
Big on melody and lyrics that cast spells, she once found herself at a seance with Jenny Lewis, Mazzy Star, Carole King and Ronnie Spector at John Cassavetes and Gina Rowlands LA home. In a psychedelic moment they morphed into one deity that she’s worshipped ever since.
She may be a Californian dream, a girl group sound gone swampy post a New York trip, or the Mamas, without the Papas, on an unlikely bus trip to Nashville, either way it’s a romantic, mesmerising brew.
