Info:
Ned Collette has a smouldering song-writing style that's been compared to the likes of Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. Leah Senior, and Michael Beach also make the kind of devastating music you'd want to hear while sitting around a wax-damaged table, late at night. The three of them dreamt up the New Rampant Optimism Roadshow to bring some shoot-from-the-hip levity to the often intense but dark songwriter show experience. It's a is a revue style concert where the three of them will be joined on stage by a coterie of Naarm-connected legends including Mick Turner from Dirty Three on guitar and Chris Abrahams from the Necks on the ivories. NC & Wirewalker men Joe Talia and Ben Bourke, and Leah collaborator Jesse Williams round out the rhythm section. Violinist Elisbeth Fuschia will be hot on the fiddle when the time is right. There'll be a special guest appearance from US underground rock icon Thalia Zedek too. All of them are playing together in no particular order.
