Bush Gothic are thrilled to announce our new fiancé, Stephen Taberner. We are to be engaged in a series of December concerts followed by a studio recording. Known for his leadership of the internationally renowned ‘The Spooky Men’s Chorale’, Stephen has a suite of new songs which will be featured in the concert along with favourites from Bush Gothic. Stephen will perform on vocals and piano with Bush Gothic as his backing band, his penchant for surprising and delighting crowds with heart-stopping harmonies and outright silliness in safe hands.
Ballarat Trades Hall is a delight of a venue - a state of the art sound system wrapped in historic surroundings. With a full bar and friendly atmosphere it is located in the Creative Arts Precinct, just a short stroll away from the train station. The perfect place to spend a cosy evening amongst other music-curious peeps.
Pre-sale ticket prices: $35/30
Fiddler Jenny M. Thomas, double bassist Dan Witton and drummer Chris Lewis collude with Stephen, forming a formidable and highly adventurous band with four part singing bliss. With the power of Bush Gothic to fully realise the funkiness and outright melancholia of Stephens songs, this is rare opportunity to see this new ensemble in concert.
Known for exploding totally archaic notions of Australian folk music, Bush Gothic have presented their work with Melbourne Symphony Chamber, performed in a World Heritage listed fort in India and been invited to perform at some of the world's most prestigious festivals including Mona Foma and Womadelaide. Constantly experimenting with notions of high and low art, their latest release What Pop People Folk This Popular, is a collision of pop culture and shipwrecks, described by Andrew Ford of ABC RN's The Music Show as 'A very impressive piece of work, a splendid album.'
�‘Bold, inspired and beautiful in its intensity, Bush Gothic takes your breath away.’ �— THE NATIONAL TIMES
Beautiful singing; very sharp and witty lyrics.” �— BBC Radio 2
‘The musicians onstage maintain an energy and intensity that is utterly riveting. Beautiful, evocative and thoroughly enjoyable, Bush Gothic is Australian folk at its finest. Mesmerising.�— RIP IT UP MAGAZINE
