# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Driftwood, plus Runa Cara
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: To celebrate the release of Driftwood’s new album MAPS on ROOM40, Naarm based experimental musicians Aviva Endean and  Nick Ashwood are hitting the road with a car full of  microtonal pump organs, clarinets and guitars. At Eight o’clock Sharp they share the bill with the legendary local avant folk duo Runa Cara.

Performing face to face, with back to back organs, Driftwood meets in a microtonal, buzzing, blurring landscape. Their unique instrumental line up features two re-tuned antique pump organs, which create a resonant backdrop for their primary instruments of clarinets (Aviva) and guitars (Nick). Their slowly evolving music draws influence from minimalist, drone and folk traditions to create a generous and shimmering sound, inspiring a hypnotic and transformational quality of listening in their audiences, who are momentarily immersed in this harmonic expanse.

Runa Cara is the partnership between Irish-Australian percussionist and indie-folk singer-songwriter Bonnie Stewart (aka Bonniesongs) and Danish-Australian contemporary cellist and nyckelharpist Freya Schack-Arnott. Drawing from their culturally diverse roots and a rich mix of classical, folk, and improvised musical practices, the duo creates imaginative Irish and Scandinavian folk songs interwoven with experimental soundscapes and original compositions.
