LOST HIGHWAY PRESENTS: COUNTRY & INNER WESTERN featuring: THE MORRISONS + RUBY BOOTS + JENNY QUEEN + SPECIAL GUESTS
At The Basement – a monthly review of the best Australian Alternative Country, Americana, Roots & Folk. Lost Highway Records has been home to some of the biggest and best names in the world of Americana and Alt Country, including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, Johnny Cash and The Jayhawks. Once a month, in collaboration with Country & Inner Western, they’ll now be bringing you some of the best Australian artists in this genre. April 22 starring The Morrisons, Ruby Boots and Jenny Queen – plus special guests.
THE MORRISONS
The Morrisons are a sometime 7-piece band forging elements of alt-country, bluegrass and folk to create a unique and contemporary Australian sound. Highly accomplished pickers, singers and multi-instrumentalists, their stories are inspired by Aussie folklore and modern Australian life.
RUBY BOOTS
Flame-haired Ruby Boots' bold and unafraid music doesn't hide from what she wants and doesn't care who knows it. Just like the characters in her songs, where life and love are serious matters, it's a case of get on board or get out of the way. For principal singer and songwriter Bex Chilcott it's all drive, and the coarse edges of raw musical passion haven't been buffed off, but embraced as her music rings more true to herself than ever.
Her somewhat cowboy mouth rolls out banter with the heart-warming charm of a drunken Irishman. This is not cookie cutter country music dressed for outback B&S balls. Ask her about such things and she'd likely suggest you should just remove the ampersand and you'd be close to the mark.
JENNY QUEEN
US-born Sydney-based Americana singer-songwriter Jenny Queen released her latest album 'Small Town Misfits' in 2014. Produced by the talented Shane Nicholson, who also features on album track 'Let Her Go', Jenny this year picked up a Golden Guitar nomination for New Talent of the Year.
The critically acclaimed release rides between Tex-Mex, country, blues and folk. It's a winning combination of powerful songs and Queen's unmistakably raw, emotional delivery.
