BRENDAN GALLAGHER (Karma County) with THE YEARLINGS

TRINITY SESSIONS PRESENTS IN INTIMATE CONCERT MODE BRENDAN GALLAGHER WITH THE YEARLINGS. Music 8.00pm Doors 7.30pm

BRENDAN GALLAGHER returns to Adelaide with his new double album Wine Island. “funky, bluesly,gritty, a little bit country a little bit rock ‘n roll and 100% Brendo”.

Brendan is a music all rounder – singer, multi instrumentalist, songwriter, performer, producer, composer, author - some say he was born with a guitar in his hands. In a career spanning over thirty years he has played on recordings for artists like David Bowie, Jimmy Little and Kylie Minogue.

He has produced over twenty albums, including two ARIA award winners - Jimmy Little’s instant Australian classic Messenger (1999) and Karma County’s Into The Land Of Promise (2000). His talents extend to piano, drums, percussion and bouzouki, something that has stood him in good stead over the years as an in demand music producer. 

Brendan is best known as singer/guitarist with KarmaCounty. Over the last fifteen years the band have released five albums and toured around the world. Karma County’s double album retrospective Headland was released through Vitamin Records in 2008. In September 2006 Brendan released his debut solo album On Eve St, it was voted one of the top 25 albums of 2006 for the Australian Music Prize (AMP). In September 2009 he followed up with his second solo album Tooraloo & Tender.

Brendan’s songs have appeared in feature films like Summersault, Clubland & The Boys Are Back and TV shows like Sea Change & City Homicide. He has composed for short films by acclaimed directors Rachel Perkins and Warwick Thornton. In 2009 he composed the score for Aussie feature film Subdivision.

THE YEARLINGS songs rock, sad and slow like a chair on an old wooden porch. Robyn and Chris combine a sunset voice and a heart wood guitar to make a river of sound that winds its way past the hustle and flows back into the country. The Yearlings fly the flag for those that believe the true beauty of music comes from the heart, not the hype. May they continue to do that for us.
