Winter Sounds with the Kinfolk Orkestar & Jesse Witney

Join us on the lawn for the August edition of Winter Sounds with Bellingen super band; The Kinfolk Orkestar and Northern Rivers darling Jesse Witney. Come prepared to dance!

The Kinfolk is a collective of rare talent, where folk music meets jazz meets a groove that moves body and soul. This is where traditional melodies dare to venture into phonic forays of virtuosic improvisation, where the sweeter sounds of bow on strings and breath in brass collide with raw rhythm, groove, and power, creating an emergent sonic property greater than the sum of its parts.

The Kinfolk Orkestar play tunes from Eastern Europe to Latin America to the Celtic world and beyond, both traditional and contemporary. With full respect for tradition, each musician in the collective pays homage to their musical and cultural heritage while also taking freewheeling left turns into the unexpected, celebrating the spontaneity and pure expression of live music.

The core of The Kinfolk Orkestar is chameleon fiddler of many styles Laura Targett (of Wild Thyme), the excellent Emiliano Beltzer (of Santa Taranta) on bass and guitar, multi-instrumentalist Joshua Szabo (of Hello Tut Tut) on bass and lute, and acclaimed rising star Oscar Eager on the trumpet. They are joined by the brilliant Otis Lyons on drum kit.
