DOORS OPEN 6.30PM // MUSIC STARTS 7PM
Renowned Melbourne musician Andy Baylor celebrates the release of his brand new album ‘The Old Southern Line’ with a live show on 1 December at The Spotted Mallard, featuring his Banksia Band - a formidable line-up dedicated to playing original music.
The album presents fourteen new songs and tunes; travelling tunes, songs about making art, Australia, talking birds, pilgrimages to Louisiana, yearning ballads, wistful melodies, and country surf – an entirely new genre.
Andy Baylor & The Banksia Band offer a colourful folk/roots sound which encapsulates the essence of Australian music-making. Their polished, eclectic music draws together threads of ‘roots music’ styles including country, folk, Cajun fiddle music, old, deep blues and world music exotica, and seamlessly weaves these into a contemporary Australian bar-room symphony.
“As with all my albums over the years, I have committed myself to passionate, honest expression through poetry and music to tell something of the place and times I find myself living in. I love writing and playing music and even though I may naturally be a shy, quiet person, when I play and sing I feel powerful - free to tell it like it is, and right where I should be.”
