Bruce Watson – Immortal + The Paper Collar Pickers

$20/18 – CASH AT DOOR (ATM in pub – 2 Addison Rd)
60 minutes each from
The Paper Collar Pickers – Rod Vervest and Craig Sinclair, two musicians hailing from WA’s south coast, who share a common love for ragtime guitar, close harmonies and Albany’s granite coastline. Rod is a seasoned fingerstyle acoustic guitarist, fronting a series of successful musical projects, alongside his current role as Artistic Director for the Albany International Folk & Shanty Festival. Craig is an award-winning singer-songwriter, guitarist and dobro player, who plants his storytelling lyrics in the rich riverbed of old-timey and contemporary folk styles. This likely pair came together in 2010 to provide the rhythmic engine room for popular WA acoustic quintet the Pepperjacks, honing their tasty dual thumb-picking arrangements and single microphone technique. Now on opposite sides of the country (they are both inter-generational and inter-jurisdictional) they reunite in happy moments to celebrate the old stories, the old tunes and the mighty right thumb of old Big Bill Broonzy.
Bruce Watson presents ‘Immortal’ – a video celebrating Australia’s folk legends who are no longer with us, but have left a lasting legacy through their music, inspiration and passion, helping shape Australia’s changing cultural identity.
‘Immortal’ remembers and celebrates these people in a tangible, entertaining way that also provides a permanent record in the one place – and provides inspiration to the next generation
