ROSEVILLE – 11 MAY 2018
Our next show is on Friday May 11 2018, when we present BLACK BIRD HUM - a Dub, Ska, HornStep, Roots and Reggae ‘SUPERGROUP’. Talented Brazilian Blues Trio, IRLAN JONEY & THE CARCARA will open the show.
BLACK BIRD HUM
Black Bird Hum throws everything at you… from horns to percussion to tripped‐out synths and delay‐drenched keys. This 10-piece (!) Sydney Big Band plays a blend of great music from Roots ‘n’ Reggae to Dub, Ska and ‘HornStep’ (music specifically written for brass instruments)!
The band was reviewed as “one of the highlights” of the inaugural Australian Music Week, was a dual finalist at the MusicOz Awards (Blues & Roots as well as Acoustic Singer/Songwriter categories) and also nabbed a gong at the Australian Independent Music Video Awards.
IRLAN JONEY & THE CARCARA
Irlan Joney & The Carcará is a power trio bringing a little bit of Rio to Roseville this May. The band plays a unique blend of Blues, Baião and Reggae. Baião is a Brazilian rhythm that originated with the native people of Brazil’s North-East, but now incorporates elements of Mestizo, African and even European music.
Locals may have seen Irlan busking solo in Chatswood at the main Westfield entry on the concourse. He’s also regularly seen on The Corso in Manly, on The Strand at Dee Why, at Bondi Beach and in the CBD. You’d recognise him… he looks more like a Mexican Bandito from a ‘60s Spaghetti Western than the brilliant guitarist he is.
