About this Event
Rich Davies & The Low Road are thrilled to be playing the Lowie supported by Alison Ferrier, after a triumphant return to Maldon Folk Festival and the National Celtic Festival.
Soaring five-part gang vocals meld with trad-roots instrumentation and rock-band intensity, in a sonic landscape equal parts folk club and sweaty dive bar. At the core are Davies’ narrative-driven songs, steeped in Celtic and Appalachian traditions but equally informed by the 60s folk revival and his love of Bruce Springsteen and Radiohead. His anthem ‘Dirt Under My Nails’ has been covered by The Bushwackers, inducted into their Big Australian Songbook, and nominated for a Golden Guitar award. The band have showcased at Folk Alliance International and earned an Australian Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year nomination. Expect heart-on-sleeve storytelling, witty banter, and glorious folk’n’roll.
Alison Ferrier delivers an evocative and emotive collection of atmospheric folk, laid-back country and hypnotic blues. Her lyrically-rich slow-build numbers showcase her talent for melody, and her vocals are effortlessly refined with conviction and vulnerability in equal measure.
