Christina Green is a Melbourne-based songwriter, composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist who’s active in the folk/acoustic and contemporary classical contexts.
Featuring polished lyrics, strong images and storytelling and nuanced guitar/ukulele accompaniments, Green’s songs tell stories of people and events that have inspired her. They bring together politics, spirituality, quirky vignettes and tales and personal stories with emotional layers. A sense of place also features in many of her songs, drawing on vivid images and styles ranging from folk-rock and punk to cabaret/chanson.
She is inspired by Canadian folk artists Kate and Anna McGarrigle and various performers in the activist songwriter tradition – such as Woody Guthrie, Andy Irvine and Si Kahn – as well as folk/rock/acoustic singer-songwriter/guitarists like Ferron, Tiddas, Indigo Girls and Patty Larkin, and also by the guitar playing of folk artists including John Renbourn. She has been writing and performing since 1989.
Sunday, Kim Salmon @ Theatre Royal, Castlemaine
Alternate rock royalty returns to Castlemaine.
Salmon’s work with the Scientists in the 1980s influenced grunge music, going through several incarnations, remaining a constant member, before the band hung up their boots in late 1987. He has since worked in various groups including the Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon and the Surrealists, Kim Salmon and the Business, and recent country influenced act with Ron Peno of Died Pretty, Darling Downs.
This is a solo set, electric and acoustic, where anything can happen.
Saturday, Phil and Trudy Edgeley @ Horvat’s
Phil Edgeley, “hard-edged blues slide trouper, nimble-fingered folk alchemist”, plays his trademark Churchill Acoustic, Tim Kill Weissenborn and National Steel guitars with a solid reputation as a songwriter. In the words of Jim Conway, he is a “masterful guitarist and songwriter who performs with great heart and passion”.
Edgeley’s British folk/blues songwriting is complimented by Trudy Edgeley's tempos and melodies.
Friday, The Cartwheels @ Blue Bean Cafe, Hepburn Springs
Acoustic, intimate and unpredictable The Cartwheels family band – with singer-guitarist Wendy Phypers, bassist Dave Patterson, and drummer Charley – play country, rockabilly and rock’n’roll. Almost anything you care to request.
Saturday, North East @ Blue Bean Cafe, Hepburn Springs
