Dear Orphans + Mem Davis & The Kindred Spirits

Real music, played by real musicians, on real instruments, singing about real people.

Sydney-based americana band Dear Orphans come to the inner west for bluegrass meets alt-country, story-telling songs. Calling on influences such as Gillian Welch, Ryan Adams, Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt, Lyn Taylor and Nick Payne bring songs about convicts, cowboys and road trips in between beautiful ballads about love, and stories of the everyday moments in life that become memories ingrained in your heart.

Dear Orphans will be support by Mem Davis & The Kindred Spirits.

Dear Orphans’ music embraces the simplicity of life while connecting with the human condition.

Featuring the songwriting of Lyn Taylor and Nick Payne set against bluegrass and old-time line up Dear Orphans’ music weaves stories of love lost, love found, bushrangers, cowboys and road trips.

"Ultimately, though, what made this show special was the band’s connection to their songs and to the audience." Jolene: The Country Music Blog

About Mem Davis & The Kindred Spirits

Mem Davis & The Kindred Spirits draw on the sounds of alt.country, trad folk, blues, bluegrass, and indie - the grittiness of the music often matching stark and confronting lyrics and stories. This is not a band that smooths over every rough edge, but instead believes that true art matches the reality of life. At the same time they put a high price on vocal harmony and delicate guitar lines that enrapture and entrance.
