About this Event
Faces in the Street
Faces in the Street is an Australian Indie Folk trio born of the Keynes Brothers in Naam/Melbourne.
The Keynes Brothers were founded by John Fraser (vocals/guitar) & Rowan Cole (vocals/mandolin/guitar/mandola) who draw their inspiration from folk, rock, and country blues and have developed an extensive catalogue of co-written songs that explore life’s challenges, the human condition and the power of hope and perseverance.
The name Faces In The Street is derived from a poem by Henry Lawson which depicts the faces of the poor & the marginalized in a city, revealing the harsh realities of urban life as portrayed in the following verse:
“I left the dreadful corner where the steps are never still,
And sought another window overlooking gorge and hill;
But when the night came dreary with the driving rain and sleet,
They haunted me - the shadows of those faces in the street,
Flitting by, flitting by,
Flitting by with noiseless feet,
And with cheeks but little paler than the real ones in the street.”
Bruce & Hugh
Joyful, hilarious, thought provoking, totally engaging songs beautifully arranged for voice and strings from one of Australia's best songwriters and performers. Bruce is an Australian folk icon - a masterful craftsman of songs and story weaver who has won a stack of awards, and appeared at the Lomond many times. He is joined by the exquisite cello of Hugh Belfrage.
“An Australian folk hero!” (The Boite). “The best songwriter I have seen in a long time.” Eric Bogle
