Friday, Nathan Power @ Blue Bean Cafe
“Borrows inspiration from folk, blues and country…” – Beat Magazine
“Laid back tales of an old soul with a guitar. Really delightful listening…” - Nkechi Anele (Triple J)
Power had an unusual childhood, growing up in Yemen, Kenya and Pakistan.
He almost got expelled from boarding school for brewing his own dandelion wine in his wardrobe. His family had two pet baboons and a golden eagle. It was all very wild.
However, there are no animals on his debut EP We Were Wild. Instead, these songs use folk guitar, mandolin and cello to focus on a different kind of wildness – “the kind that lives in wandering hearts caged in bad relationships and salaried desk jobs.”
People can clearly relate. In 2017, Power sold out the launch of his debut single Solstice, which was played across stations including PBS, 3RRR and Triple J.
If you’re into artists like the Tallest Man on Earth, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, you’ll be into Nathan Power.
Saturday, Jethro Picket and Adrian Whitehead @ Blue Bean Cafe
Tasmanian-born Jethro Pickett – nice double-barrelled rock name by the way – gets a nice plug from Goldenplec: “That’s what makes it such an intriguing record, it fuses the storytelling of the likes of Bob Dylan and Neil Young with a more modern observational approach akin to Courtney Barnett. Ultimately, If honesty was a commodity Jethro Pickett would have an abundance of it.”
Sunday, Never Easy @ Blue Bean Cafe
