a large number the music of John Prine is revered, passed
on by word of mouth and loved for it’s poetic narratives
and melodic strength. Championed by the likes of Kris
Kristofferson, Johnny Cash and Dylan himself, this is

greatest living singer/songwriters.
A host of local singer-songwriters are lined up to give
a retrospective look at the great troubadour’s career.

At the forefront of the distinctly new urban movement
titled alt. country Brett and Rennie Sparks’ Handsome
Family duo cast a ‘delightfully doomy’ light
on the intricacies of love, life, lithium and lethargy.
They could easily be pigeonholed as eccentric but their
history and artistic paths navigate a far more complex
route. Typically they have been slotted into the alternative
or ‘insurgent’ country jigsaw alongside compatriots
Wilco, Calexico and Lambchop, yet their melodic and sometimes
morose compositions often defy categorisation.
