A night of ballads in lead up to Festival

Described as two of the finest interpreters of Australian traditional folk music, Chloe and Jason Roweth are set to raise spirits and funds in the name of the 2024 Henry Lawson Festival at the Grenfell Showground Pavilion on Saturday, April 27. Support a worthy local cause and have a great night out enjoying ballads and yarns from 7pm. The Millthorpe locals have been in the industry for over three decades and have recorded 25 albums. The couple travel extensively sharing the songs and poems of the kitchen, the verandah, the shearer's huts, the local pub - and the yarns that go with them. They seamlessly combine new and old, music runs under poems and expands into songs, weaving together and driving forward diverse threads of the Australian tradition. Their music, and Jason's reciting, have been recognised with national awards and they are well known for forging unique combinations of music, folklore and social history. The Roweths' album, 'The Soul of a Poet - Songs and Poems of Henry Lawson' features evocative use of dance music from Lawson's home country of Central West NSW as an accompaniment to Lawson's poetry. This is set alongside the Roweths' own original musical settings of Lawson's work and is described as Australian bush music as you've never heard it before. Don't miss out - bookings are essential. A light meal is also available on the night. Proudly presented by the Henry Lawson Festival Committee, tickets are available at $15 from the festival website at https://henrylawsonfestival.com.au/roweth-fundraising-show/ VIP double passes are also up for grabs on Facebook so get your friends following and tagging...https://www.facebook.com/grenfellfestival The 2024 Henry Lawson Festival of the Arts will be held in Grenfell from June 6-10.
