Strap yourselves in for an evening of heart-on-the sleeve stories and songs from two of Sydney’s finest purveyors of alt-country.
Copperline
Take some disarmingly honest storytelling, flavour it with generous lashings of twang and gritty rock and you get Copperline. The Sydney/Blue Mountains alt-country four-piece have lived and breathed the highs and lows of the rock and low life – and that experience can’t help but find its way into their music.
With two records under their belt, and a third on the way (all produced by Shane Nicholson) Copperline have earned a reputation for their heart-on-sleeve songwriting and live performances – and have picked up a swag of award nominations, radio spins and festival slots along the way.
Adam Young and The Down Main
Having spent several years in successful indie rock acts such as the Daisygrinders and Big Heavy Stuff, Adam Young has had his songs covered by the likes of You Am I and The Lemonheads. This would be enough to make any musician retire happily.
But it his solo work with which Adam will truly leave his mark.
His debut solo album, Elementary Carnival Blues, features 10 tracks of real alternative country and we believe that it easily stands beside the best work from Wilco, the Jayhawks, Uncle Tupelo and other legends of the genre. But Adam hasn’t left his roots behind either. Imagine if Gram Parsons had fronted early REM or Steve Earle got together with Buffalo Tom.
