STEEL CITY SUE

This show is a launch date for new Steel City Sue album 'The Red Zone' - recorded in winter in Wales with Mike & Katie West (Truckstop Honeymoon) 

Steel City Sue brings her own brand of ragtime industrial folk. Sue wrote award-winning song Boom Town and is known for a pile of fetching anti-coal songs from the belly of the Hunter Valley beast, served up with humour and regret. Flirting, bad driving, climate catastrophes and denialists also get a run in her driven-yet-touching repertoire. 

The Steel City Sue trio of multi-instrumentalists play stringband style and features the magnificent musicianship of Naomi Jones (Midnight Chicken, Highstreet Drifters) and Tim Merrikin (Coomba All Stars) swapping out twin fiddles, old time banjo, guitar plus Cajun accordion, double bass and loads of harmonies.

Naomi & Sue both play Old Time so odd-on for an all-in tune session at the end of this gig.

WOBBLY BOOTS OLD TIME STRING BAND

Appalachian mountain music without modern complications. Melbourne’s own charismatic old time band The Wobbly Boots are a collection of much loved musicians from various cherished local and national acts: Peter Holmes on banjo (The Ramshackle Band, Headbelly Buzzard), Andy Reid on washboard (The Band Who Knew Too Much), Matt Rodd on guitar and mandolin (Shaky Stills) Charlie Sanford on fiddle (Gob Iron Cajun Band, Merri Creek Tavern Sessions) Andrew La Blanc on double bass (Burning Bridges, The Cajun Aces) and many other illustrious members stepping in and out. 

Seemingly a busking outfit, they prefer to entertain for the greater sake of humanity, generous in nature, singing original local tales and vintage standards in the acoustic street forum. Six part choruses and harmonies add to the singing, bowing, plucking and strumming of this old time string band’s genuine atmosphere.
