An Evening with Alice Skye & Emily Wurramara

Alice Skye is a singer-songwriter and Wergaia woman whose songs sparkle with a sensitivity and maturity well beyond her years, accompanied by the gentle and hauntingly sparse melodies of a piano score. She is joined for this special show by proud Indigenous performer Emily Wurramara. Originally from Groote Eylandt, Emily wrote her first song aged nine and she continues to share her stories and experiences with heart and honesty through her original music sung in English and Anindilyakwa.

Cash Savage and The Last Drinks

Having towered over festival audiences at Golden Plains, Boogie and Sydney Festival, selling out Melbourne venues, and earning rave reviews for her recent packed-out Sydney show, Cash Savage and the Last Drinks are on a mighty roll.

This incandescent live band at the height of their powers are led by their mighty frontwoman. Her potent lyrics and impassioned delivery articulate the personal-political issues of these times with heart, guts and grit.

“Next to Courtney Barnett, she is one of the most original and distinctively Australian voices to emerge in the last few years.” Daily Review

Don’t miss them bringing their epic live show to Anglesea. Support is from the wild, unconventional and ruthlessly blunt songwriter Hollie Joyce. Combining fervent lyrics with distorted and at times eerie tones, Joyce has established a compelling sound that doesn’t hold back – it’s a dynamic cacophony that sometimes strays into raucous rock ’n’ roll freak outs, while at other times deviates to the more alluring and melodic.

So, in the words of REO Speedwagon, if you know what started out as a friendship has grown stronger and you wish you had the strength to let it show head to https://australianculturalfund.org.au/projects/an-evening-with/ and donate!!

An Evening with Tiny Ruins

A rare blend of eloquent lyrical craft and explorative musicianship, the songs of New Zealand band Tiny Ruins have been treasured by crowds and critics for almost a decade. Traversing influences that cross genre and era, the artistry of Hollie Fullbrook and her band spans delicate folk, lustrous dream pop and ebullient psychedelia. And they’re bringing it all to Anglesea for the Sound Doctor as they tour the country with their latest album, Olympic Girls.

Support will be from Melbourne-based musician Ryan Downey, performing his signature blend of rock, pop and folk in a mesmeric baritone voice that is a jaw-dropping amalgamation of Leonard Cohen and a spirited Bill Callahan by way of a mid-century crooner.

Milk! Records Goes Coastal

Turn the clock back to March 2018, when Jen Cloher blew the roof off the Anglesea Memorial Hall. No-one could have imagined how that humble building could have been transformed into a bona fide rock venue. Well it happened, and we’re planning on doing it all again this March when we bring three bands from Milk! Records (the label founded by Jen and Courtney Barnett) to town for one rocking show. This is one for the music fans, the people who are in the know (or want to be able to say I saw them when…). It’s a standing (get up and groove) show and it’s going to be big.

First up we introduce you to Hachiku (though if you caught Fraser A Gorman in August you may recognise the lead singer!). Hachiku is the brainchild of German bedroom-producer Anika Ostendorf, who writes and produces her home-made dream pop (think: Grimes, Perfume Genius and early CocoRosie) from whichever bedroom she is currently inhabiting.

Swept together from the ashes of your finest night on the tiles, Loose Tooth are a Melbourne three-piece who craft sweet guitar pop with frayed edges and swollen hearts. Whether they’re spluttering to life on an empty tank or hitting harmonies in full flight, seeing this trio really is a beautiful thing.

Jade Imagine, Melbourne’s low-fi, slacker-fuzz-dream pop band bathed in the glow of ’70s surf-music, was destined for greatness from the beginning. Jade McInally, front babe and brains, has been a stalwart of the indie scene since 2004 and since releasing their EP on Milk! Records her band has been getting bigger and better!

In a first for The Sound Doctor, we’re bringing beautiful music to your Sunday. The concert will feature the new ‘Gratitude and Grief’ collaboration between Elixir and Michael Leunig, showcasing a unique combination of poetry, angelic vocals and sublime improvisation. With some of Elixir’s previous catalogue and a few of their favourite songs by other artists, this promises to be a truly special musical event.

An Evening With Archie Roach

Since emerging in the early ‘90s, Australian singer-songwriter Archie Roach has enjoyed a stellar career, sharing the stage with some of the world’s most iconic artists. Perhaps best-known for his heartbreaking song, ‘Took the Child Away’, a deeply affecting ballad about his own experience as one of the Stolen Generations of First Nations’ children, Roach has released 11 albums including his most recent Dancing With My Spirit.

His music speaks the stories of his people, of this land and of the human condition. His voice – uniquely Australian and undeniably universal – resonates for us all and we are humbled to be able to share this special evening with our Sound Doctor audience.

‘[Archie’s] soulful voice, filled with love, pain, joy and wonderment is stronger and richer than ever.’ The West Australian
