SUMMARY:Craig Kelly & Joyce Prescher play the songs of Mark Lanegan
DESCRIPTION:Mark Lanegan was one of the great underrated singer-songwriters of the modern era\, with a deep\, smoky baritone drawing comparisons to Tom Waits\, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave. Rising to prominence with Seattle grunge band The Screaming Trees (I Nearly Lost You)\, he went on to collaborate with close friend Kurt Cobain\, appeared as a featured voice across three Queens of the Stone Age albums\, and became the brooding foil to Belle & Sebastian’s Isobel Campbell across three dark-folk records echoing Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra — alongside countless other collaborations and 11 solo albums. \nPerformed by Craig Kelly with Joyce Prescher.

SUMMARY:Victor Stranges plays the songs of Stiff Little Fingers
DESCRIPTION:Victor Stranges returns to the songs that shaped him with Get Stiffed – a rare\, one-night-only dive into the catalogue of Stiff Little Fingers\, the Irish punk band whose songs defined a generation. As a teenage drummer in Melbourne’s underground ’80s band Drunk ’n’ Disorderly\, Stranges cut his teeth on this material across the pub circuit. Now\, 37 years on\, he brings them back reinterpreted solo\, with weight and perspective. Expect material from the band’s early run through their first split in 1983\, spanning Inflammable Material (1979)\, Nobody’s Heroes (1980)\, Go For It (1981) and Now Then… (1982). Tuesday 28 July\, 8:00pm at The Drunken Poet.

SUMMARY:THE PRAIRIE OYSTERS playing the songs of THE SMITHEREENS!
DESCRIPTION:DAVE MILES and MICK EVANS (from THE PRAIRIE OYSTERS) present the songs of the best \nband you’ve never heard of: THE SMITHEREENS. \nIt took some hard decisions to trim the set down when you have 7 albums of masterful power pop to choose from. But they have curated a 1 hour goldmine of great and memorable songs\, from the achingly beautiful “CIGARETTE” to the stomping “TOP OF THE POPS”. \nIn an intimate “unplugged” setting\, these songs will be stripped back to their essence to get a long- delayed hearing by Mick (drums\, percussion and vocals) and Dave (guitar\, harmonica and vocals).

SUMMARY:Thomas Kendall plays the songs of Dick Gaughan
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Kendall plays the songs of Dick Gaughan\, a Scottish singer-songwriter known for his social protest songs and contributions to Scotland’s folk music tradition. \n \nDick Gaughan’s impact on folk musicians the world over cannot be overstated. While it might be pure fantasy to suggest that anyone other than Dick himself can do these songs as well as he can\, what can be learnt by trying\, is a flatpick driven hybrid of Scots-irish balladry with the alternate tunings that were widely adopted by Celtic guitarists of the period (and still to this day). Beyond what he can impart as a guitarist are some of the most impassioned and brilliant vocal performances yet committed to tape. \nFor a bluegrasser like myself\, knowing that Dick had a brief foray into bluegrass himself is a reminder that this heritage of song connects us the world over. When a scene starts to ossify\, that’s when the wildfire comes through\, tosses out the old growth and gives us something new. Forever regenerative\, he remains a beacon of singular expressive brilliance to me and many other folkies. I hope to bring some level of justice to these songs\, knowing it to be a sysyphean task.
