The Boltons
2014-11-07 20:00 - 23:00 | Selby Community House, 1 Minak Road, Selby , 3159, Australia
The Boltons go wayfaring through intriguing and less-travelled musical landscapes, out where the fences are few and far between. These intrepid explorers bring a wealth of influences from many years of folk, classical, jazz, acoustic and rock performances. Atmospheric violin and accordion in conversation with acoustic guitar and double-bass trace sparkling lines around memorable melodies, nuanced vocals and evocative lyrics.
Tom Bolton (acoustic guitar and vocals) will be joined on stage with Peter Anderson (accordion), Reave Maloney (double-bass) and Emma Rodda (violin).
“Bolton’s knack for winsome-pretty, winning melodies is a cut above 1000 other guys and gals with an acoustic guitar that want to sing to us about love and its discontents. Instead of wasting our time, he fills it with small, steady wonders”
– Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover, New York

Riley Jordan
2014-10-03 20:00 - 23:00 | Selby Community House, 1 Minak Road, Selby , 3159, Australia
In her teen years, she played bass guitar in a jazz band and sang for pleasure with friends doing mainly harmony-based vocal stuff. She also went on to perform in cover bands while forming the Elizabeth Scott Band.
Riley Jordan has absorbed many styles of music, through her work with diverse groups of musicians over many years in the Melbourne music scene. Her style is a mixture of roots music including blues, soul, and folk. Her music has been described as having elements of Grace Jones, Tina Turner, Des’ree, and Marianne Faithful. To these influences she brings a large dose of her own originality, so much so that it is hard to pigeonhole her style.

Michael Waugh
2014-06-06 20:00 - 23:00 | Selby Community House, 1 Minak Road, Selby , 3159, Australia

In the tradition of the troubadour storyteller, his songs are gut-wrenchingly honest, emotionally brave and compellingly beautiful. He brings audiences to laugh, cry and sing along as they recognise their own lives and experiences in the music.

This Melbourne-based band is fast making a name for themselves in the Australian music scene. Maggie and Elsie Rigby started performing and touring with their family band, The Rainmakers,in their early teens and won the Lis Johnston Award for Vocal Excellence at the National Folk Festival 2011. Anita Hillman has played since 2009 with successful folk band Evelyn’s Secret as well as performing with the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle club and the Geoff McArthur quartet.
They started playing music together late 2011. All three members of the trio write their own songs and these are tastefully arranged to suit the group’s diverse instrumental talents and love of three part vocal harmony.
The Mae Trio were the recipients of the 2013 Folk Alliance Youth Award at the National Folk Festival and since then they have performed at many festivals in Australia, Scotland, France and the Us.
“Listened to a couple of songs and just kept on listening ‘cos I was enjoying it so much. Really great harmonies, beautiful production.”
– Missy Higgins
“The Mae Trio take you on a real old world journey where harmony and story are king. They also happen to be talented songwriters whose contemporary and original melodies and songs sound like classics. Their show is threaded with amusing banter that invites you in and leaves you wanting more.”

Slow to Wake Trio

The Slow to Wake Trio represents a snapshot of the Celtic immigrant heritage of many Australians. The group’s unique sound is the result of bringing together three diverse musicians, each with their own musical voice, in a joyful, creative collaboration.
Síle, the newest Australian in the group, hails from Ireland. Jean is the daughter of a proud Scotsman, and Louise is the granddaughter of two Dubliners. Throw in a bit of English, Italian, Dutch-South African blood, and you have The Slow to Wake Trio.
With musical influences as wide as their own ancestral heritage, The Slow to Wake Trio performs delicate and thoughtful orchestrations of original and traditional songs and tunes.
Whether they find themselves playing for young families at farmers’ markets, performing on concert stages, or sitting around the kitchen table, The Slow to Wake Trio take an infectious delight in the simple joy of sharing this music.

Hilary Blackshaw writes original blues-tinged, sometimes moody, sometimes laid back folk songs, which she sings and plays on nylon string guitar, sometimes electric guitar and occasionally the fiddle.
The sound is earthy, laid back, music to kick your shoes off to and goes down especially well with a mug of mulled wine.
