Ryan Francesconi (USA), Grand Salvo, The Singing S

Sat Feb 4 2012

Portland-based Ryan Francesconi's stock has soared of late as the main man on Joanna Newsom's remarkable triple album Have One On Me.

He arranged and played all over that massive opus, as well as figuring centrally in its live incarnation and the Ys Street Band of Newsom's previous record. But Francesconi does his own thing too. His solo acoustic guitar creates a rich sound that hints at his extensive musical interests - Baroque, Balkan, Turkish, Americana and jazz improvisation.

This intimate concert will also feature Melbourne folk favourite Grand Salvo in a rare Sydney appearance previewing songs from his forthcoming new album as well as acclaimed Sydney outfit The Singing Skies, whose Routine and War album garnered great notices in 2011.

Tickets $18 + bf - available now from Moshtix:
