SUMMARY:Adrian Whitehead plays the songs of John Lennon
DESCRIPTION:Ask anyone about The Beatles and they’ll likely say: Paul wrote the ballads\, John wrote the rockers.\n\n\n \n\n\nBut a deeper listen to John Lennon’s remarkable catalogue reveals something more—an artist capable of writing love songs that are as tender as they are sharp\, as vulnerable as they are honest.\n\n\n \n\n\n On Tuesday 7th January\, local singer-songwriter and devoted Lennon fan Adrian Whitehead presents Lennon Love Songs\, a tribute to some of Lennon’s most moving and intimate works. \n\n\n \n\n\nRediscover the depth\, beauty\, and edge of these timeless songs in a live performance that celebrates Lennon’s softer\, more reflective side. Show starts at 8pm.

SUMMARY:Kier Stevens
DESCRIPTION:Nestled halfway between the blues rock bombast of Ash Grunwald and the genre-mixing folk-roots wizardry of Jeff Lang\, Australian steel guitarist KIER STEVENS knits together a raucous weave of hurtful hollering and gutsy guitar work that can take you from old-timey acoustic blues sounds\, screaming steel solos\, bung ballads\, haunting ambient improvisation\, and the odd choice Australian cover. \nSometimes sober listeners have variously described his original compositions as bung blues\, dirty swamp rock\, and even psychedelic bluegrass. KIER STEVENS is a regular fixture on the Melbourne music scene writing and performing with blues band DOGGEREL\, acoustic folk-noir duo COME HEAVY SLEEP\, nasty spacejazz improvisors THICKEN\, and more!

SUMMARY:The Wobbly Boots
DESCRIPTION:The Wobbly Boots are a six-piece Old Time hillbilly mountain music band\, bringing high-energy string band sounds and back-porch harmonies to the stage. Led by Charlie Sanford on fiddle and Peter Holmes on banjo\, the group also features brothers Tom and Matt Rodd (of Shaky Stills fame) on steel-string guitar and mandolin. Holding down the rhythm section are Andrew La Blanc on double bass and Andy Reid on washboard. It’s boot-stompin’\, heart-thumpin’ mountain music the old-fashioned way – raw\, rambunctious\, and full of soul.
