Welcome to your formal invitation to Cigány Weaver's 10th Birthday Party!
It's been a wonderful journey making countless friends along the way. From the beginnings of our local scene to all around Australia, this party is as much for all of you who helped us get here, as it is for us to say thank you. If you don't know us, read on:
Fusing the passion of folk music, the precision of classical, and the spontaneity of jazz, 'Cigány Weaver' create a rich and vibrant atmosphere for both the heart and mind. Front woman, Jo Davie's soaring vocals and enchanting gentle demeanour combine with the fiery violin, dynamic guitars and driving rhythm section to create a purely acoustic group that effortlessly navigates the musical nexus between intimacy and raucousness.
Their critically acclaimed second album 'Episode II: Still Water' (2024) garnered widespread recognition, earning a nomination for 'Album of the Year' at the 2025 Queensland Music Awards, while the single 'Horatio Hornblower' reached finalist status in the world music category. This success builds upon their previous accolades, including two National Live Music Award nominations for Best Australian Jazz Act and Best QLD Act.
The band have gone from strength to strength since their self-titled debut album in 2019, which received a highly commended nod for the track 'Janome' in the 2020 Queensland Music Awards' Jazz category. Their recent 2024 national tour supporting 'Episode II: Still Water' showcased the rich stylistic fusion that has become their signature sound, winning new audiences and critical praise while receiving steady radio airplay nationwide.
The night will include support from our good friends The View from Madeleine's Couch and special features from previous Cigány Weaver members.
Come join us for a night of partying and celebration, and assist us in setting the tone for the next 10 years of music and dancing!
